Affinity Groups
No need to reinvent the wheel—connect with your colleagues!
National Preservation Partners Network members are eligible to join any of the Affinity Groups that are available. Typically the groups meet quarterly or monthly for an hour via Zoom. The calls are an opportunity for colleagues with common interests to have conversations, share information, and learn from each other amongst trusted colleagues. Groups are open to all staff and board members of organizational members. To register for a group (or to check your current enrollment), email the Director.
