CIRCLE OF PEERS

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Circle of Peers brings PAIS members together in small cohorts to build meaningful connections, share experiences, and learn from colleagues in similar positions. Designed as a roundtable, each gathering provides space for open, candid conversation, idea-sharing, and problem-solving with peers who understand the challenges of your work.

Gatherings are not recorded to encourage honest dialogue, though notes are shared with all registered participants. Participants help shape the discussion topics based on their interests and needs.

Register once for a Circle of Peers group and participate in any or all of its scheduled gatherings.
NO COST FOR PAIS MEMBERS.
