Introducing the 2021 EPIP Conference Planning Committee

As we prepare for the 2021 EPIP National Conference, we're thrilled to be working with a group of dedicated and passionate leaders who are helping to shape the conference experience. The 29 members of the 2021 Conference Committee hail from organizations across the country and throughout the sector. We thank them for bringing their emergent leadership, lived experiences, and commitment to equity and justice to our conference planning process.

Reimagining Philanthropy

Want to get to know the conference committee a little better? In the spirit of EPIP's 20th Anniversary, EPIP 20@21: Re/Imagine, we asked what reimagining philanthropy meant to them.
