Today: Watch ComNet22 Sessions Live

More than 900 leaders in nonprofit and foundation communications and an array of journalists, advocates, researchers, and others are gathering in Seattle this week for the annual conference of the Communications Network. Their goal is to learn new ideas and insights to advance their work and their missions.

The Chronicle is pleased that through a partnership with the network, we have the opportunity to stream several of the sessions so you can watch even if you can’t attend the conference.

We hope you’ll join our editor, Stacy Palmer, on Thursday as she interviews foundation CEOs to understand their priorities for communications — and the lessons they learned in the pandemic. The conversation will feature William Bell, of Casey Family Programs, Carmen Rojas of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, and Caryl Stern of the Walton Family Foundation. That starts at 4:45 p.m. Eastern.

Other Thursday sessions we’ll make available (all times Eastern):
