Train with Intention. Lead with Confidence. Where Compliance Meets Community

The Ellis Collective is more than just a venue—
It’s a dedicated training ground for providers who are ready to lead with excellence, stay audit-ready, and build sustainable, community-rooted programs.

Whether you’re a new 245D provider or a seasoned Designated Manager, our trainings are designed to strengthen your skills, sharpen your compliance knowledge, and connect you with a network of like-minded professionals.

From intensive cohort-based learning to interactive coaching labs and peer-led roundtables, every session at The Ellis Collective is built to empower, equip, and elevate.

This is where providers grow—not just in knowledge, but in impact.
