In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker challenges us to rethink how and why we bring people together. Whether it’s a weekly staff meeting or a major fundraising gala, gatherings shape culture, trust, and mission momentum.
Parker argues that most gatherings suffer not from poor logistics but from a lack of intentionality. When we clarify the purpose, curate the guest list, and design meaningful interaction, our gatherings become transformational—not transactional.
For nonprofits, this book is a call to elevate how we convene people in the service of connection, community, and change.
