Join Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy's Boston Chapter for a Focus Group discussion on Thursday, May 15th from 4:00-5:30pm ET! Light snacks will be provided.

EPIP Boston's theme for 2025 programming is Centering Community. In keeping with this theme, the goal of this Focus Group is to learn what our members and program attendees’ priorities and interests are for the year ahead, so that EPIP Boston can curate responsive programming based on the community’s needs. The conversation will be informal and lightly facilitated. Participants will have a chance to shape EPIP Boston's programming and connect with peers in the philanthropy sector.

We hope to learn:

• What role do you see for yourself as an emerging practitioner in philanthropy? How can EPIP Boston support you in leveraging your agency as a philanthropic professional in service of community? 
• What challenges are you navigating as a philanthropic professional in this moment, either within your institution or beyond?
• How can EPIP be a resource for your professional development? 
• Are there philanthropic or community networks or partnerships that EPIP should consider partnering with?

EPIP’s Steering Committee will utilize Focus Group participant feedback to inform our upcoming events - stay tuned for future programming from EPIP that will Center Community.

If you are interested in attending, please RSVP using this form. We will be sharing updates on the location in the coming weeks.
