WHAT IS ALLIANCE? ABOUT THE ALLIANCE SUMMIT Now in its seventh year, the Alliance Summit is a convening of community, education, business and philanthropic leaders to celebrate parents and strengthen partnerships for greater student and school success. We approach our work firmly grounded in the nation that supporting families to be agents of change in their communities is crucial to ensuring students succeed and have a bright future.
