ACCP was founded on the premise that we are stronger together. We believe in maximizing impact by fostering meaningful connections, building partnerships, and sharing diverse perspectives and experiences. One important way we foster connections is through ACCP’s Member Group program, which allows ACCP members to connect with and learn from peers.
Most Member Groups meet virtually on a quarterly basis, unless otherwise noted below, to have open discussions on relevant CSR topics, listen to dynamic speakers, engage in Q&A with topical experts, network with peers, and more. These members-only gatherings are not recorded to encourage sharing and candid discussion.
You can engage in Member Groups and Peer Discussions by registering for and attending upcoming events, join the conversation in our Online Communities, and propose topics, case studies, or speakers by emailing Hillary Roviaro at hillary@accp.org.
2023 Member Groups & Peer Discussions
Topical Thursdays
New for 2023, join ACCP staff and guest speakers on the second Thursday of each month at 2:00pm ET for case studies and discussions on trending topics most relevant to your work. If you would like to submit a request for a specific topic or share your experience during a Topical Thursday, please connect with Hillary Roviaro at hillary@accp.org.
CSR Service Providers
Have questions about the many CSR Service Provider options available, want to connect with other Members actively using specific systems, or want to talk about your experience? Join us for the quarterly CSR Service Providers member group meeting where we will highlight a different category of provider each meeting.
CSR Small Teams
CSR Small Teams is a community of ACCP members who are currently on a team of 5 or less. Whether you are a small team in a small company, a small team in a large company, or just starting off, we all experience challenges in how to scale programs and do more with less. As a community we will discuss challenges, successes, ideas, and best practices with teams in similar situations and identify ways ACCP can support small teams in the future.
Join the Small Teams Online Community!
