Make it a good morning! Start the day by chatting with your Foundation for Fraternal Excellence friends. The objective of these Coffee Chats is simply to give representatives from member foundations a connection to the community to help them build relationships with peers and crowd source solutions to their challenges. Pick the peer group you most identify with and join us for these discussions!
