Trainings

Chapter Commons

Southern Regional CAC is pleased to offer another season of Chapter Commons, beginning in August 2026. Chapter staff and contractors with roles in monitoring and compliance, development and fundraising, operations, training, and conference planning are invited to apply for this peer connection experience.

Purpose 

Chapter Commons creates a dedicated space for connection and peer support among Chapter staff serving in similar roles.

Participation Structure

Participants will engage in one 90-minute virtual gathering per month, for five months. Each session is designed to provide participants with a collaborative space to discuss role-specific challenges, exchange practical ideas, and learn alongside peers serving in similar roles. Participants are encouraged to come prepared to ask questions and share real-world scenarios that could benefit from collective insight and collaborative problem-solving.

Who Should Apply

Chapter staff and contractors with roles in monitoring and compliance, development and fundraising, operations, training, and conference planning are invited to apply for the 2026 season of Chapter Commons. Other Chapter roles will be featured in future seasons. To support connection and continuity within the cohort, participants must be available to attend at least four of the five sessions to be accepted into the program.

Note: Because space is limited and the program is designed to foster meaningful learning and connection, all interested Chapter staff must apply and be accepted to participate.
