ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS

We have two terrific programs that allow you to get involved and make new connections.*

Peer Circle Program consists of small discussion groups comprised of members from your peer group. Meeting those with similar professional backgrounds allows for meaningful connections and deeper engagement. New Circles commence every June with a new cohort.

Affinity Program is made up of 12 groups based on shared social identities and backgrounds. They are open to all peer groups, which creates connections across industry roles. They build community and provide opportunities to celebrate the array of perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds across our membership. You can belong to one or more than one group. Members can join at any time.

More information on both programs is found here.

*Engagement Programs are open to members regardless of location. In-person meetings may not be available in your area but, virtual meetings are an option.

PERKS

Our PERKS program offers members an array of discounts and substantial savings on benefits, specifically focused on Entertainment, Professional Development, Financial and Health & Wellness. We’ve partnered with Tickets at Work and Fun Express for nation-wide offers on hotels, travel, amusement parks, concerts and sporting events.
