Upcoming Community of Practice Meeting Schedule (August/September)

Aug 15, 2023

It has been an exciting time working behind the scenes at AELERT HQ for the past few weeks working with the 13 Community of Practice chairs and co-chairs to reinvigorate our network groups and kick-off three new ones!

The Community of Practice (CoP) groups are where the sharing happens within AELERT, and each group has access to its own private forum space where you can interact with other members, share ideas and experiences, and draw on the collective knowledge and ability of this powerful network.

We encourage you to get involved with as many CoP that are relevant to you because each group becomes stronger and more diverse with each new individual.

See our full schedule below for the date and time for the next group meeting and follow the link to learn more about each Community of Practice, to join the relevant CoP forum and to get involved.

Please note: All members must be registered on the AELERT website to access the CoP forums and join network groups. If you require any assistance, please contact the AELERT Leadership Team today.
