Join us for a new twist on a beloved tradition!

Included With Your Summit Registration

This year, instead of our usual Monday night reception, we’re excited to introduce the NARR Celebration Dinner—a full dinner experience to kick off the 2025 Best Practices Summit.

Held on the first night of the conference, this special evening brings together attendees, sponsors, and community leaders for a meaningful night of connection, celebration, and purpose.

 

Evening Highlights

 

Honoring a Legacy

In memory of our dear friend and colleague John Lehman, Recovery Champion, we will celebrate his contributions to the field and continue his legacy through the John Lehman Advancing Recovery Scholarship.

Prize Drawings for a Cause

Help grow the scholarship fund while having fun! Prize drawings will take place during the dinner, offering a lighthearted and meaningful way to support access to future Summits.

Buffet Dinner

Enjoy a casual buffet dinner with something for everyone. After a full day of learning, relax and connect over a shared meal—because great conversations start with good food and community.

Networking Opportunities

Mingle with fellow attendees, industry leaders, and policymakers in a welcoming, celebratory atmosphere. It’s a perfect setting to build new relationships and deepen your network in the recovery housing space.

Keynote Reflections & Community Honors
Be inspired by a series of keynote reflections from distinguished speakers who will share powerful stories, insights, and visions for the future of recovery housing. We’ll also take time to recognize and celebrate outstanding individuals through a special award ceremony honoring dedicated members of our community who exemplify service, leadership, and commitment to recovery housing.

Entertainment
To be announced—stay tuned for a fun and engaging addition to this year’s evening lineup!
