This meeting is for SCACED members to discuss and connect with their peers on the current events impacting their organizations and the communities they serve. We will set the stage by discussing topics such as the recent executive orders, House Bill 3927​, funding freezes, and what to expect from DC and South Carolina in the near future.

During this Peer-Support Listening Session, participants will have the opportunity join breakout rooms on these topics to share strategies and challenges:

• The impact of anti-DEI policies on state-level policy and the funding community.
• How senior staff are managing federal resources and planning ahead.
• Adapting external communications amid executive orders and funding freezes.
• Managing member expectations, needs, and organizational responses.
• How funders (banks, foundations, etc.) are responding.

This meeting is virtual-only and for SCACED members only. For questions about your membership status, reach out to Bush Brunson at bush@scaced.org.
