We love the convenience of online meetings and the Onward app, but there’s no substitute for getting together. That’s why our team plans a variety of in-person events throughout the year, from bigger gatherings like weekend Alumni Retreats and Experience, Strength & Hope days to speaker panels, book swaps, Snack & Chats, Gratitude Brunches, and our infamous Holiday Sweater Parties. There’s also the occasional outing to a local sporting event. There is a cost for some of these bigger events to cover ticket or venue prices, but Alumni gatherings are never a moneymaking prospect and many remain free.

Alumni Retreat Weekend in Atlanta!
