    What is a “Member Impact Hub”?


    A “Member Impact Hub” (Committees & Working Groups ) is an opportunity for BPIA members to connect with other members around topics or areas of interest. Hubs are spaces for members to network, plan programming, events, research projects, discuss current events, and more. Hubs are open to active dues paying BPIA members. 

    BPIA Impact Hubs are an avenue to expand the professional growth, development, and connection of members. 




    See you there!
