Powered by Volunteers: Thank You 2026 Future PLUS Committees

The successful Future PLUS programs, events, and initiatives are brought to you by several groups of dedicated volunteers who generously give their time, expertise, and energy to make it possible. Our Future PLUS volunteers have helped shape educational programming, create meaningful networking opportunities, and share valuable industry insights. Whether developing content, supporting an event, recruiting participants, or simply stepping up wherever needed, their contributions have an impact far beyond the hours they give.
