Building Local Networks of Impact Leaders

We know the best partnerships start with genuine connection.
At our Local Leaders Events, we gather in spaces that feel welcoming, with good food, good drinks, and conversations built for authenticity and collaboration.
These gatherings are not about quick exchanges or LinkedIn QR codes. They are about relationships that fuel your work, spark new ideas, and remind you what community makes possible.

Why Attend Local Leaders Events

Cities

Meet us in NYC, SF, LA, DC, Chicago, Atlanta, and more—bringing the Engage for Good community to you instead of waiting for the annual conference.

Community

Connect with a mix of corporate, nonprofit, agency, and social impact leaders who are actively building partnerships, programs, and campaigns.

Representation

Join rooms that intentionally elevate BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented leaders so conversations reflect the communities we all serve.

Content

Dig into what’s actually working on issues in your city like sustainability, disaster response, homelessness, hunger, and more, with real examples, not theory.

Experience

Gather in upscale lounges and restaurants with great food, great drinks, and structured-yet-relaxed formats that make meeting people easy.

Value

Walk away with new collaborators, practical ideas you can put to work immediately, and relationships that deepen through the broader EFG membership community.
