Roundtables

Spokes roundtables are facilitated, peer networking and problem-solving opportunities held monthly especially for Spokes members. At the start of the roundtable, participants introduce themselves and share some good news or something that’s “keeping them up at night.” They may also offer a “spotlight topic” for consideration during the course of the 60 to 90 minute session.

A hallmark of the roundtables is confidentiality. The explicit norm is “what’s said in the roundtable stays in the roundtable.” This encourages mutual support and a candid exchange of ideas.

Roundtables are free of charge and restricted to Spokes members.

Regularly scheduled roundtables:

Executive Directors/CEOs
Board Presidents/Chairs
Development Directors

From time-to-time special topic roundtables are held as well.

Find the roundtables on the Spokes Event Calendar.

Member Testimonial

I credit meeting my board goals this year to Spokes and their expert resources. As a result R.A.C.E. Matters is on a solid foundation with our structure, and we have added several outstanding new board members. As board president, I have been able to position R.A.C.E. Matters to continue to meet the everchanging needs of the community, grow the board and fulfilled our mission.
