Hi everyone,
We hope your 2026 is off to a wonderful start.
Thank you again to everyone who joined our launch meeting. The energy, openness, and support shared truly confirmed how meaningful and needed this space is within the Television Academy.
We’re so excited to continue building our Parents & Primary Caregivers Affinity Group community and share what’s coming up next — including our first in-person, family-friendly gathering.
During this virtual meeting, we will:
• Welcome new members
• Share highlights and takeaways from our launch meeting
• Review feedback and preferred meeting cadence
• Begin planning our first Parents Night Out
• Discuss planning our upcoming family-friendly craft & brunch gathering
• Open the floor for ideas, collaboration, and community needs
Special Mini Session (15–20 minutes)
We’ll, also, feature a short, impactful conversation with an expert on balancing career and family, offering:
• Practical strategies for managing demanding schedules
• Insight specific to the entertainment industry
• Tools for protecting time, energy, and well-being
Designed to be inspiring, supportive, and easy to engage with — even with little ones nearby.
This continues to be a relaxed, supportive space — cameras optional, kids welcome, and multitasking always encouraged. Thank you for being part of this growing community. We’re grateful for your presence, your voices, and your commitment to supporting one another.
