"Good Stories. New Friends. No Zoom."

That's how one participant summed up JFN West's Be the Story, as part of a final assignment to share a six-word story about the gathering earlier this month in Los Angeles.

At Be the Story, JFN West's first-ever in-person regional convening, 50 JFN West members from throughout the JFN West region reconnected with peers, networked with colleagues, and honed their philanthropic storytelling skills. Enjoy the best photos from the convening in the slideshow below and read an article about the convening here. JFN members can watch videos from the convening on our members-only video page. If you attended the convening but are not a JFN member, email [email protected] to request the video links.

Please stay tuned for more upcoming events about philanthropic storytelling!
