Affinity Groups

Connected by discipline, area of focus, or expertise, IPLC colleagues establish affinity groups when they reach out to one another and begin conversations around best practices and information sharing. Currently, each affinity group communicates and connects in a manner that works best for their group, and meetings are typically adjacent to a conference relevant to the affinity group’s purpose.
