Affinity Groups
![]() IPMA Affinity Groups are communities of IPMA members who share common interests and join together to network, educate, and share best practices within specific areas of focus. Affinity Groups meet quarterly via teleconference and in person at the IPMA Annual Conference. There is no limit to the number of Affinity Groups to which you may belong. We encourage you to take part in as many as you would like. Affinity Group calls are conducted in a roundtable format where a volunteer moderator will guide the conversation. Your participation is key to ensuring that the calls will be both engaging and informative. Take advantage of this peer-to-peer interaction opportunity and become part of the conversation on improving management skills for managers and supervisors in a legal environment by joining our Affinity Groups. Affinity Groups are available to members only. Click the links below to access or join each group. Docketing
