NEXT Vail Valley (2026 Cohort)

August 11, 2026 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (MDT)

Description

The NEXT Vail Valley program is proven to inspire, connect, and strengthen our local workforce. As our community continues to grow, it is vital to mentor with, and learn from, those who have gotten us here, so we can prepare for what’s NEXT. We are thrilled to offer this sought-after program, with a brand-new slate of community leaders!

The NEXT Vail Valley program is designed to support and advance emerging leaders in our community. It provides an opportunity for 12 professionals to meet and engage with a community leader in a group setting. The group will meet with a different community leader each month. During these sessions, NEXT participants will have 2 hours to interact and converse with the leader about the topics of their choosing.
