IMPACT 2026: Step into the LEADERVERSE
January 16, 2026 | By LFW
We hosted our annual LeadershipIMPACT event at Stage West Theatre. This year’s theme, Step Into the LEADERVERSE, invited attendees into bold conversations around public education, access, innovation, and the evolving educational landscape in Fort Worth.
Through powerful storytelling and thought-provoking dialogue, our featured speakers explored the challenges and opportunities shaping Fort Worth’s education ecosystem from public schools to Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).
Leadership Fort Worth is proud to be a space where community members can engage in hard conversations, learn from each other’s experiences, and walk away with something new.
