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.
