** PEAK2021 Online is a month away: Make your plans today!
------------------------------------------------------------

Across eight days in May, step back from your day-to-day to reconnect with PEAK colleagues and strengthen our community.

Together, we’ll examine and expand upon a pivotal and visionary year, and PEAK’s 25th in existence. Across keynotes and breakouts, we’ll look at how far the profession of grants management has come – its growing influence and responsibility, critical work in this moment to meet the challenges of our day, and evolving role as a change leader in philanthropy.

There’ll also be plenty of opportunities to connect with peers through chapter meetings, affinity groups, and communities of practice; plus wellness and music breaks, social hours, and more.

** Make time and space for wellness
------------------------------------------------------------

Along with the learning and connecting, we've built in opportunities for self-care. Tap into a series of guided Morning Wellness sessions and on-demand wellness activities that will be available throughout the conference. Learn a few new moves, get your heart pumping, or practice mindfulness exercises and enrich your body as well as your mind. Program to be announced.


** Scholarship Opportunity
------------------------------------------------------------

We recognize that not everyone can afford to attend professional development opportunities. Scholarships covering registration fees are a way that we try to eliminate that barrier for those who would like to attend.

Our thanks to Ascendium Education Group and the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust for making these scholarships possible.
