PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVITIES
We work to bring valuable, high-impact programming to our members that support professional development, network-building, and personal growth. Members can expect a mix of in-person and virtual events as well as other ongoing opportunities, including:
- Peer Mentor Pods: Thoughtfully curated peer groups, based on function/role, of 4-5 individuals who meet monthly or bi-monthly.
- Virtual Book Club: Series of virtual discussions on professional development based on pre-reading some of the most compelling books we recommend to leaders across our portfolio.
- Fireside chats with CEOs and Board Directors.
- Live/in-person meet-ups: Several times per year with a speaker or theme to encourage conversation, education, and connections.
