Affinity Groups
EdLoC believes that Affinity Groups enable our members to create social equity and build intragroup strength and pride that supports and facilitates intergroup efforts and coalition building required to advance EdLoC’s values and mission. Our Regional Gatherings provide curated, casual spaces where members and guests can engage in-person, in Affinity Groups to create meaningful connections with persons of shared identities, provide opportunity to share relevant resources with group members and to inspire group members to consider their role in policy and advocacy in the region
