We want to extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors, customers, and members of the IES leadership team who joined us for the 2025 IES Communications National Leadership Summit. IES: The Final Frontier launched us into a journey unlike any we have experienced before, boldly going where our summits have never gone before. Our week-long mission in Chandler, Arizona, was filled with stellar programming, including sponsor panel discussions, inspiring guest speakers, an interstellar vendor tradeshow, dynamic team-building breakout sessions, a black-tie night among the stars at our President's Club Award Banquet, an out-of-this-world party night at Rawhide Western Town, and a hands-on volunteer activity. The force of collaboration was strong throughout every session as we explored new ideas and strengthened our connections across the IES galaxy. The mission concluded at the Customer Appreciation Charity Golf Classic, where we collectively raised an incredible $40,000 for Free Arts Arizona, supporting their efforts to bring healing, confidence, and hope to children through the power of the arts. A special shoutout to our Mission Commander, CommScope, whose support as our title sponsor helped guide this year's mission and elevate us to new horizons. Thank you to everyone who made this voyage unforgettable. Until next year, leaders, we look forward to charting new stars and discovering the next chapter of our journey across the IES universe. 🚀✨ #IESTheFinalFrontier #IESNationalLeadershipSummit #FuturetoLead
