EOF Member Peer Learning Series

Overview

EOF members often comment that one of the best aspects of being a member is the connection to other members – both those that are working in direct alignment and those working in different areas. The purpose of the EOF Member Peer Learning Series is to provide opportunities for members to exchange ideas, share grantmaking practices, workshop pressing challenges, and align efforts around economic opportunity. Coupled to conversations at our in-person meetings, these monthly 45 minute virtual meetings provide opportunities to connect to and learn from each other.

Monthly calls will be held on the first Wednesday of the month from 1:00 – 1:45 pm ET starting in April 2023.

Who's in the Room?

The Peer Learning Series are EOF members-only gatherings, though we may occasionally ask an outside speaker to join.

Format

In order to create connection, these gatherings will be held meeting-style in Zoom, with lots of opportunities for dialog and discussion. To encourage honest and robust exchange, these sessions will not be recorded. Each session will include an EOF member to kick off the conversation.

Registration

Register for the series and receive a calendar hold with log-in information. Participate when you can. Sessions will not be recorded.

This series is exclusively for EOF members. Not an EOF member but interested in attending? Join now (it’s free!) or reach out to Cema Siegel, csiegel@eofnetwork.org to learn more about becoming member.
