We’re preparing our Challenge Organizers for a whole new year of competition.

With memories from the 2015 National Challenge still fresh in our minds, we’re already working to making sure that 2016 will be our farthest-reaching, most exciting, and just plain biggest year yet! To start things off, we’ve invited our Challenge Organizers – the fabulous people who help us coordinate the program all over the country – to meet us in Alexandria, VA this September. For two days, we’ll all share knowledge and resources about how to run dynamic Local and State Challenge events.

The Challenge Organizer Conference is a great opportunity for the CEF staff – we get to hear about the obstacles our Organizers face, how they’ve overcome them, and how we can best support them and expand the program even further! This year, we’re aiming to grow the Challenge into 38 states, plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

Would you like to get involved in the Challenge program? Just fill out our online inquiry form – we can’t wait to hear from you!
