Champions!

Thank you for applying to this year’s upcoming Leadership Summit! We are excited to share that we received 220 applications from across 40 states!!!

The 2023 Summit will be our first large in-person gathering since 2020 and, well, like many things since 2020 it will be different.  Due to capacity restrictions, we will only have the space to welcome 100 champions. Although we are saddened that we cannot welcome all our amazing champions to D.C. we also are encouraged by your excitement and commitment.

Please note, that as we continue to finalize details and prepare for next steps, we want to encourage you to take action beyond summit. Advocacy is a year-round sport, and our team will continue to equip you for success each step along the way.  Here is a sneak preview of the advocacy actions that will be available for you to engage in 2023:

  • Webinars: Webinars will continue to be hosted every two weeks. Our first webinar of the year will kick off on Monday, January 23 at 6p ET and will cover the latest WHO World Malaria Report. To register for this webinar and future webinars click here.
  • World Malaria Day – Days of Action
    • Monday, April 24 | Join our webinar as we prepare to call Members of Congress
    • Tuesday, April 25 | Our team will share a social media toolkit with prepared messaging for you to post on Instagram and Twitter.
    • Wednesday, April 26 | Sign-on to our petition. Petitions will be shared via email and text message. We encourage you to share this with your community!
  • World Mosquito Day
    • August 20 | Our team will share a social media toolkit with prepared messaging for you to post on Instagram and Twitter. We will also distribute a petition for you to sign and share with your community. The petition will be shared via email and text message.
    • DATE TBD | Virtual meetings with Members of Congress. Although Summit has limited capacity, our virtual meetings are a great way of strengthening your advocacy muscles in preparation for the 2024 Leadership Summit (yes, I’m talking about 2024…sorry).
  • Veteran’s Day
    • November 11 | Our team will share a social media toolkit with prepared messaging for you to post on Instagram and Twitter. We will also distribute a petition for you to sign and share with your community. The petition will be shared via email and text message.

Despite the tremendous progress made, a child dies nearly every minute from this entirely preventable and treatable disease. That’s why it’s necessary that we keep up the steady drumbeat – year round – in the fight to beat malaria.  Each advocacy action we take moves us closer to progress; makes us better advocates; and prepares us to advocate in Washington D.C.

We look forward to advocating with you in the year ahead!
