We are thrilled to announce that NATA (National Association for Temple Administration) and NAASE (North American Association of Synagogue Executives) are joining forces for our 2026 joint conference: The One for Synagogue Executives.

Mark your calendars for October 26–29, 2026, as we gather in the vibrant heart of New Brunswick, New Jersey. Whether you are a seasoned executive or new to a senior leadership role, this is the place to nourish your professional soul and strengthen the bonds that sustain our sacred communities.

◊◊◊ Our Theme: "Friends" ◊◊◊

Inspired by the iconic 90s sitcom, our theme celebrates the power of individual uniqueness within a community of joy, support, and shared learning. Just as the characters we know and love navigated life’s ups and downs together, we strive to build a network where every synagogue professional feels like they have a seat on the "orange couch."

"I'll be there for you—because you're there for me too."

Why Attend?

• Practical Learning: Gain tools and strategies tailored to diverse congregation sizes and organizational cultures.

• Meaningful Connection: Build lasting relationships with colleagues who truly understand the complexities of synagogue administration.

• Professional Nourishment: Step away from the daily grind to recharge and gain fresh perspectives in a supportive environment.

We can’t wait to see you in New Brunswick for a conference that promises to be—dare we say—The One you won’t want to miss.
