Virtual Affinity Groups
You are Invited to Participate in Monthly Virtual Affinity Sessions
Similar to roundtables at the annual conference, these virtual sessions are informal and provide an opportunity to network with others who hold a title similar to yours and to discuss topics of mutual interest. We are now offering affinity group sessions for Presidential Assistants, Chiefs of Staff, Provost Assistants, Vice President Assistants, and Dean Assistants. Please see below for virtual joining information and facilitator information.
NEW for 2025: Pre-registration is required for each session.
Registering for a session will automatically generate a meeting invitation for your calendar.
Seeking Virtual Affinity Group Facilitators
NAPAHE is regularly seeking facilitators to host monthly affinity group sessions. These virtual sessions are 45-60 minutes. They are informal and provide an opportunity to network with others who hold a title similar to yours and to discuss topics of mutual interest.
As a facilitator, you would have creative freedom to run the group session. However, a simple agenda might look like: intro/icebreaker, topic of the month (of your choosing), discussion, then final remarks.
If you are interested in facilitating, please complete the form linked below, or email
