2021 CANCELLED

Due to restrictions in Boise, procedures in place at lodging and venues where we would normal hold the Summit events and the uncertainty of how the 2021 Legislature will function – the 2021 Summit has been cancelled. Governor Award winners that were selected for this year will be moved forward to the 2022 Summit for presentations.

See you next year!
