Tap into inspiration and practical insight in our on-demand webinar collection

Our extensive video library provides you with an opportunity to revisit your favorite PEAK events or experience for the first time the incredible power and energy from the sector experts who have shared their insights with our community. Two programs you don’t want to miss are PEAK2021 Online keynotes: Start with LaTosha Brown’s electric opening and The Changing Face of Philanthropy, a candid conversation among four dynamic leaders—Satonya Fair, Crystal Hayling, Carmen Rojas, and Sherece West-Scantlebury—on how they each are reimagining how they are working to fulfill the missions of their organizations.

Another highlight of 2021 was our yearlong 25th anniversary celebration, which featured several inspirational conversations with sector leaders, including a panel of CEOs on Grants Professionals as Change Agents for Operationalizing Equity in philanthropy and A Conversation With PEAK Founding Members, which features Margaret Egan and Ursula Stewart.
