🤝 Small but Mighty: A Working Group for Small EPP Leaders
Running a small EPP often means wearing many hats—but you’re not alone.
Join us for Small but Mighty: A Working Group for Small EPP Leaders on:
🗓 April 16
⏰ 1:00–2:00 PM EST
💻 Virtual Session
Small EPPs complete all the same critical work as larger programs—often with fewer staff or even a single leader. This session is designed to create space for connection, problem-solving, and shared strategies among those in similar roles.
Whether you're looking to exchange ideas, troubleshoot challenges, or simply connect with peers who understand your day-to-day work, this session is for you.
