AACL hosts an annual Leadership Series for families. The series has gained national and international recognition. Families find the series to be a powerful source of renewal in their commitment to creating an inclusive life for their sons and daughters. Each year approximately 25 - 30 parents, at times including individuals with developmental disabilities some of whom are parents as well, are invited to participate in the leadership series. The series consists of 5 weekends from the fall to the spring with each weekend covering a different theme. The series is facilitated by Bruce Uditsky, AACL's CEO and a parent and Dr. Anne Hughson, an associate professor from Community Rehabilitation & Disability Studies, University of Calgary. As well, many of the weekend sessions included internationally renowned guess speakers. AACL, with the support of Persons with Developmental Disabilities Provincial and Community Boards, Alberta Community Development and Alberta Children's Services is able to cover all the costs including child care.
