Education Affinity Group (EAG) Meeting
March 26 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

As many of you are aware, public education is currently facing significant attacks that threaten its very foundation. These challenges, while deeply concerning, also present an important moment for us to come together, reaffirm our commitment, and collaborate to strengthen the sector we care so deeply about. Therefore, it is with great optimism that we invite you to join us for our first meeting of the year, where we will reflect on the challenges and embrace the opportunities before us.
The Program
This meeting will be a chance to share ideas, reflect on how we can best support our schools, educators, and students, and build a path forward that is rooted in hope and possibility. Together, we believe we can help drive meaningful change and lift up the public education ecosystem.
Please join us for this important gathering as we chart a course for the year ahead. Your insights, passion, and commitment are vital to this cause, and I look forward to collaborating with each of you.

This meeting is for Philanthropy WV members involved or interested in education investment at all levels in West Virginia.
