UEDA Affinity Networks

UEDA Affinity Networks connect professionals in higher education, partnerships, and development across the association’s areas of practice: Talent, Innovation, and Place. These networks help address challenges and improve efforts in regional development.

Through the network, you can:

  • Access resources and best practices
  • Network with colleagues across the nation
  • Participate in discussions and professional development opportunities

There are two main ways to participate within the UEDA Affinity networks:

  • Monthly Convenings (open to everyone): Attend monthly meetings where like-minds gather to discuss news, challenges, best practices, metrics, resources, and more (See the events page for upcoming network convenings).
  • Online workspaces (for UEDA members only): Collaborate with colleagues and share resources in online forums and workspaces.
