Peer Groups

For the collective good of the peer group and for your own optimal professional development, and to maintain any scholarships you may receive, we ask that participants attend at least 80% of the sessions. If you are unable to attend a session due to unforeseen circumstances, we just ask that you communicate that to your facilitator in advance of your group meeting.

Peer Groups meet once a month, for two hours. Membership lasts for a year (12 months), but the group will meet eleven times during that year. There is one month (usually November or December) that the group decides by consensus not to meet.

Typically, members “check in” at the beginning of each meeting, then share a topic (issue, opportunity, or challenge) that they would like to bring forward for feedback. The group selects the topic(s) to process through clarifying questions, deep discussion, experience-sharing, advice, and feedback. The topic presenter commits to action(s) and reports back at the next meeting.

We consider the size of the organization, the position of the leader, and the goals that members have for their Peer Groups experience.

If you become a member of a new Peer Group, you will opt-in to a pre-set schedule that works for you. If you join an existing group, you will also know the schedule ahead of time. Occasionally, groups decide to shift their start or end time if they all agree to the change.

The facilitators who lead Peer Groups come from diverse backgrounds, and all are well-trained facilitators with rich experience in senior leadership roles in non-profit and for-profit organizations. They are professional coaches, facilitators, CEOs, and consultants with full schedules who facilitate with Revjen because of their passion for the sector.
