Community Peer Gathering
Dates: 1st and 3rd Thursday

Come one come all, near and far and join us for some great conversation about pretty much anything that’s on your mind. These Peer Group Sessions are open to the entire Folk Community regardless of where you live or what role you play in the community.
(NOTE: The Zoom meeting only lists the third Thursdays but this will work for the 1st Thursday as well)
You only need to register once to attend any of the future sessions. You’ll be sent a reminder email prior to each session, but you can use this link every time.
Folk DJ & Friends
NEW Dates: 3rd Wednesday
Times: 8 pm Eastern / 7 pm Central
A monthly meet-up for Folk Djs and those interested in talking to the Folk DJs. The topics range from the way radio has evolved, going digital, producing a show in the time of COVID, diversity in programming, and what you had for dinner. All are welcome to join the conversation.
