Bimonthly affinity groups—Comms Club, Membership Roundtable, and Tech Talk—bring together members of different giving circles to talk about common challenges and opportunities, learn from others’ experiences, and connect with like-minded women from across the country. These groups are open to all. Click here to learn more and join an upcoming session.
