We introduced Café PANO in April 2024 to bring PANO Members together to share experiences, celebrate successes, work through challenges, find inspiration, and simply connect with one another - building a sense of community, one conversation at a time.

Based on what we've learned from our first few convenings of Café PANO in 2024, we'll continue to offer shorter (30 minutes), more informal gatherings where anything and everything is fair game but we'll also begin to host longer (45 minutes), more focused gatherings in order to allow for deeper discussion on a particular topic, to be identified and shared in advance. Depending on the topics identified, we may bring in a guest speaker to offer insights and answer questions. For example, in February, our Executive Director, Anne Gingerich, will offer an update on current legislative issues PANO is following and how those fit in with our advocacy priorities for the year. Other topics can include volunteer recruitment, hybrid work, DEI, policies and procedures...the sky's the limit!
Responses to this form will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout 2025.
