LEARNING. ANALYSIS. COLLABORATION.
Our ProgramMING
Our Programmatic Structure is changing.
For nearly 15 years, our program structure has remained steady. But the world—and our membership—have changed.
You’ve asked for spaces that foster deeper learning, collaboration across sectors, and action rooted in shared values. We listened.
Our updated structure honors the history of our network while making space for what’s next: integrated programs that connect ideas to impact, support long-term change, and reflect the dynamism of our members.
We Continue to live in our values…
We remain deeply committed to our members and to the region we serve. Your insight and experience continue to guide the design, development, and rollout of our upcoming programs.
