PSPN Summer Soiree

Meet public service peers across agencies in a facilitated, low-pressure setting designed for authentic conversation and & connections.
About this Event

We're Back!

After a spring packed with championship celebrations, citywide events, and calendars that seemed impossible to coordinate, we're excited to bring the Public Service Professionals Network back together.

This August, join us for an evening of meaningful conversation, new connections, and a chance to meet incredible people who have one thing in common: a commitment to serving others.

Whether you work in government, higher education, a nonprofit, healthcare, the courts, public safety, or another mission-driven organization, if your work contributes to the public good, you belong here.

Good People. Great Conversations. Stronger Public Service.
Some of the best ideas, partnerships, and friendships begin with a simple conversation.

The Public Service Professionals Network (PSPN) invites you to our Summer Soirée—an evening intentionally designed to connect professionals from across the public-serving ecosystem.

Too often, our professional networks stop at the walls of our own organizations. This event is an opportunity to step outside those boundaries and connect with people who share a common purpose, even if they serve it in different ways.

Whether you work in local, state, or federal government, higher education, nonprofits, healthcare, the courts, public safety, or another mission-driven organization, you'll be among people who understand the impact—and the challenges—of dedicating their careers to serving others.

Unlike a traditional networking event, this gathering is designed to feel welcoming, engaging, and authentic. Through light facilitation and thoughtfully designed conversation prompts, you'll have the opportunity to meet new people naturally, exchange ideas, discover shared interests, and build relationships that extend beyond the evening.

Whether you're looking to expand your professional network, meet collaborators across sectors, find mentors, exchange ideas, or simply spend an evening with people who care deeply about their work, we hope you'll join us.
