We are excited to introduce a new format for the Pathways to Progress Reading Group! In this format, we will read selected books and hold several discussion sessions for each. Upon finishing a book, we will invite the author to join us for discussions. Participants are welcome to join whenever we start a new book, ensuring ongoing engagement for both new and previous fellows. Commitment will be on a book-by-book basis.

All dates and information will be posted here.
