You still have time to join us for a meaningful, end-of-year gathering that brings together good people, good energy, and a purpose that matters.

Tomorrow, we’re closing out the year with the AMPs Holiday Celebration — a relaxed space to unwind, reflect, and enjoy thoughtful conversation with peers who inspire new ideas and fresh perspectives.

And in the spirit of the season, we’re also coming together to Stuff Santa’s Sleigh with toys, games, clothing, and personal care items for Children’s National patients and their families. A small gesture from us. A huge dose of joy for them.

If you’ve been meaning to register, consider this your not-so-gentle nudge.
There’s still room for you.
