Young Leaders in Philanthropy
The Young Leaders in Philanthropy Peer Community is for members who are emerging leaders in the philanthropic sector, generally between the ages of 20-40. This community explores topics such as intergenerational communication, professional development opportunities, next-gen giving trends, and more. Virtual meetings are held quarterly, and a listserv allows community members to communicate between meetings.
About Peer Communities
IPA Peer Communities offer our members ongoing opportunities to connect and learn with their peers with similar job responsibilities, either regionally or statewide. Peer Communities connect members through listserv discussions, quarterly virtual meetings, and on occasion, in-person convenings.
Young Leaders in Philanthropy Peer Community Co-Chairs
Each IPA Peer Community has volunteer co-chairs. Working with IPA staff, co-chairs gather input from their group to determine discussion topics. They also identify resources and advocate for participation from members of the peer community.
- Emerald Blankenship, Vice President of Programs, Community Foundation serving Howard, Clinton, and Carroll Counties
- Ashley Stephen, Community Grants & Operations Manager, Community Foundation of Randolph County
This program is only open to members of the Communications Peer Community.
