Conference on Servant Leadership

2025 Conference on Servant Leadership

For the past 22 years, Viterbo University has held a Conference on Servant Leadership for individuals who aspire to be servant leaders in nonprofit organizations, small and large businesses, government, health care, ministry, and education. This year's conference will examine how leaders can align their passion with purpose, fostering environments of trust, collaboration, and growth that benefit both individuals and organizations as a whole.

Rooted in the principles of empathy, humility, and ethical stewardship, servant leadership emphasizes a leader’s responsibility to serve others. This year’s theme, Passion and Purpose, highlights the critical connection between inspiration and vision, inviting participants to reflect on how these elements shape leadership practices and influence team dynamics.

Throughout the conference, attendees will engage with thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners from diverse sectors who will share cutting-edge research, practical strategies, and real-world case studies that exemplify servant leadership in action.

With a focus on actionable insights and professional development, this conference offers a unique opportunity for leaders at all levels to connect, learn, and build networks with others who are committed to leading with a servant’s heart. Whether you are new to servant leadership or an experienced practitioner, you will leave inspired, equipped, and ready to make a difference by leading with both passion and purpose.

Join us for an engaging conference held at the Weber Center for the Performing Arts, located on the banks of the beautiful Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
