Welcome!
The Planned Giving Group of New England is an association of advancement
professionals and colleagues from allied fields, which is dedicated to
furthering the gift planning profession through education and professional
development. We are proud to include over 470 members, representing all
six New England states, in our membership. Meetings are held monthly during
the months of September through May and include presentations, by both
local and national speakers, on a wide variety of topics related to planned
giving. Meetings also provide a forum for sharing ideas and experiences
with colleagues.
We are fortunate to be able to attract outstanding
speakers from across the country as well as to work effectively for the
betterment of our profession. PGGNE is committed to offering a broad scope
of educational opportunities to meet the growing needs of its diverse
membership, through its monthly programs and special education track programming,
as well as through its mentoring program.

Communications
PGGNE communicates with its members in a variety of ways. The Executive
Board publishes a quarterly newsletter that serves as a bulletin about
upcoming programming topics, professional updates, and job listings. In
addition, each year a comprehensive membership directory is distributed
to all members. New for this membership year is the unveiling of the PGGNE
web site. The web site was developed to provide up-to-date and convenient
access to information in the most advanced medium available. Members will
find information about upcoming meetings, scholarships,
mentoring programs, legislative
alerts, job listings, planned giving resources, and much more. In addition,
members can conveniently register for monthly
meetings from the site.
