Leadership Transition & Annual Conference
As part of our goal to foster a smooth and productive transition for TFN’s new president and CEO, we will be taking a break from hosting our Annual Conference in 2024.
We truly value and enjoy the opportunity to gather at our Annual Conference every March. But given that TFN President and CEO Pat Smith will retire at the end of this calendar year, we recognized the need to afford the network’s new leader the grace and space to settle into their new role.
We nonetheless look forward to several opportunities to gather in person during 2024, including:
- Winter 2024: TFN’s Smart Growth California initiative is planning a funder summit in Sacramento. (Their Los Angeles Funders’ Collaborative, San Joaquin Valley Funders’ Collaborative, Climate Funders’ Collaborative, and Statewide Steering Committee are also planning to meet in 2024.)
- Spring 2024: Three TFN working groups — GREEN, Mobility & Access Collaborative, and Urban Water Funders — will host a joint convening in Austin,Texas.
- Fall 2024: TFN’s Inclusive Economies working group will hold its annual gathering in the fall, as will the PPREP learning cohort.
- PLACES: In addition to in-person events for the PLACES 2024 Fellowship Cohort, PLACES will hold a PLACES Alumni Gathering and is hoping to schedule alumni-led regional gatherings in 2024.
