Professional Advisors Network

The Boston Foundation’s Professional Advisors Network provides a dynamic place for professional advisors with approximately 10 years of experience to connect with others at a similar stage in their careers. Members of this network are interested in learning ways to incorporate philanthropy into their work.

The Network has three primary goals:

  • Meet like-minded professionals to exchange ideas and information
  • Develop a deeper understanding of philanthropy and the role it can play in an advisor’s practice
  • Learn more about the Greater Boston community

Members of the Professional Advisors Network are professionals from a variety of disciplines, including: attorneys, accountants, financial planners and insurance professionals.

We are grateful to the current members for their contributions to the Professional Advisors Network.
