A meta-leader is a leader of leaders, who mobilizes people and organizations to collaborate in times of crisis.

When disaster strikes, meta-leaders reach across organizations and sectors to build cross-cutting strategies to protect the safety of their families, businesses and communities. They exchange information, share resources and coordinate systems and personnel. They use their influence and connections to guide a cooperative course of action.

Being a meta-leader requires a unique mindset and skill set, which often goes beyond the scope of an individual's previous experiences. And it requires building strong alliances with a diverse array of leaders before an event occurs.

The Meta-Leadership Summit for Preparedness cultivates the critical problem-solving skills and connectivity

that leaders need to be effective meta-leaders during times of crisis.


What is the Meta-Leadership Summit?

The Meta-Leadership Summit for
Preparedness is a learning and networking opportunity designed to prepare business, government and nonprofit leaders to act together in times of crisis. When you participate in a Meta-Leadership Summit, you will gain effective problem-solving skills and build connections with other leaders who may be critical to you and your organization in a disaster.
