Ad Hocs and Poster Sessions

If you have a particular funding interest, program or initiative that you would like to discuss with your colleagues, please consider organizing an ad hoc or poster session. 

AD HOCS

Ad hocs are a vital part of the retreat program and provide an invaluable opportunity to get together with other like-minded funders.

WHEN AND WHERE ARE THEY HELD?

Ad hocs will be held during breakfast on Tuesday and Wednesday morning of the Retreat from 8:00 - 9:00 am.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Submit the following information to Sarah Hansen at shansen@ega.org:

• Title of the ad hoc session
• Name and contact information of ad hoc organizer
• A three-sentence description of the ad hoc topic

To be included in the registration materials, ad hoc submissions must be received no later than August 21st .

Note: Ad hocs are funder only conversations.  Resource people may not be invited to present at ad hoc sessions.
