​​Summit 250 is a working summit--not a typical conference. The loss of institutional knowledge, life-long public service careers, and true independent oversight affects not just workers--it affects every American. 

​

We must imagine a better future together. That is why we're convening former federal professionals, academics, nonprofit leaders, civic innovators, and students to discuss two urgent questions: 

​

• ​​How can we reimagine public service through forward looking models of collaboration that strengthen our civic fabric? ​

​

• How can we protect the integrity of independent oversight as new forms of governance emerge?

​

This gathering marks the beginning of a long-term effort to build shared solutions and stronger institutions through dialogue and, cross-sector collaboration, that will lead to action. 

​

Together, we’ll explore:

​

• New civic capacity emerging from the exodus of public servants

• Practical forward-looking models for collaboration between government and civil society

• How to use oversight expertise to strengthen public accountability and combat corruption.

​

We’ll work in small groups, surface real solutions, and leave with tangible next steps. A post-summit report will capture what we learn and help carry the work forward.

​

We’re not just thinking about governance for today, we’re charting a path forward for the next 250 years.
