This year’s Strategic Leadership Summit advances the National Alliance’s priorities to accelerate employer-led healthcare market transformation—driving greater transparency and more direct approaches to healthcare contracting. No single organization can change the market. But when employers align around expectations for market and policy change, their shared voice becomes a powerful force to redefine value and accountability.

Women’s health in the workplace has been sidelined for too long and the high cost to employers is undeniable. On June 10, the National Alliance is bringing employers, HR professionals, and subject matter experts together to address issues that can no longer be ignored. From menopause and childbirth to major life‑stage transitions and the growing influence of GLP‑1s. Agenda details coming soon.

Save the date for the 2026 Annual Forum, taking place in Arlington, VA, November 16-18. Call for Annual Forum proposals and speakers now open. Additional information can be found here.

We were thrilled to have a full house at our 2026 National Alliance Health Policy Summit held at Georgetown University's Center on Health Insurance Reforms. The thoughtful dialog among employers, coalitions, policymakers, and other health policy leaders offered strategies to tackle the real-world impact of federal health reforms on the commercial market.

From transparency and affordability to accountability in employer-sponsored coverage, the sessions underscored the critical role purchasers play in shaping a more sustainable health system.
