This roundtable focuses on the practical work of managing affiliate operations, including leadership roles, organizational goals, staffing, risk management, and cross‑department coordination. A moderator will guide the first hour with broad questions that reflect the varied approaches affiliates use to structure and strengthen their operational practices. The last 30 minutes will be dedicated to small‑group networking and discussion, supported by on‑screen prompts. Participants will gain new ideas and peer‑informed strategies they can adapt to improve efficiency, accountability, and alignment within their own affiliates.
