Boston Community
Geographic Diversity on the Rise
While most EF members are concentrated in the tri-state area (NY, CT, NJ), about one-fifth of our members reside elsewhere in the United States and abroad. EF has expanded its geographical focus in recent years to include the best-in-class talent who embody our values and ideals. Our members in Boston are a perfect example.
Feel the Momentum
Boston EF members are a small but mighty group of engaged professionals, who meet in Boston for lunch every month. On occasion, guest drop-ins from CT and NYC join. Most are in transition, as is common in the EF, though it’s not a requirement to join. All are welcome to pop in from time to time or become part of the core group. If simply being on the membership list is enough, own it. Or make it bigger. Bring more to it.
Fall Forward
Another useful self-reflective framework is to honestly assess whether an intrinsic vs. an extrinsic orientation drives our behavior to find happiness. Many find happiness and fulfillment during their career by achieving the goals and expectations determined for us. That is an extrinsic orientation. As one moves away from a full-time career, and the extrinsically derived expectations, we have the opportunity to turn inward and pinpoint for ourselves the intrinsic things we want for happiness and fulfillment.
The Boston EF group’s focus for fall is to foster an atmosphere of support, be a sounding board for each member, and to help expand their professional networks in the greater Boston area. They will accomplish this by making connections across the EF community (beyond Boston), attending EF-sponsored events, and finding C-level events and networking opportunities in the Boston area.
