Webinars & Member Exchanges
SBAN hosts regular webinars with experts on topics of common interest across our membership. Our goal is to provide opportunities for network-wide learning and discussion.
Our “member exchanges” are less formal opportunities for members to connect and strategize together. These include learning circles on programs and policies our members are developing for their communities.
