Network Happy Hour Celebration
The Pre-Conference is exclusively for leaders and staff of current Purpose Built Communities Network Members. It is designed to strengthen our Network as a collective. This dedicated time brings peers together to connect, learn, and align around the shared work of Community Quarterback Organizations.
The Pre-Conference will focus on three core goals:
Belonging: Strengthening relationships across the Network
Learning: Sharing practical insights into the role and responsibilities of a Community Quarterback Organization
Action: Applying new connections and knowledge to support more effective work back home
