NAPFA Conversation Circles
NAPFA's Conversation Circle series served hundreds of members in 2020 as a way to connect with other peers, discuss topics of importance, and foster community and collaboration. We're hoping the 2021 series is even more successful. Each session is one hour in length, facilitated by a NAPFA member or expert in the topic area, and is designed to be an interaction and lively discussion. See below for information on upcoming sessions and we hope to see you on a Thursday afternoon soon.
