Unique connections for leaders with shared experiences and common goals.

Our affinity groups create space for leaders to connect on shared identity, tackle a shared goal, and use peer-learning to integrate a new skill or knowledge into their work. They make a large community feel smaller and offer our entrepreneurs low-lift ways to regularly connect and lean into their leadership.

Collaboratives and Communities of Practice
