EJGP's Full Network serves as an opportunity for organizations and individuals to meet and discuss pressing interconnected issues in the region. The network meets bi-monthly and typically invites 1-2 speakers that work in the region to highlight some of the areas within Greater Pittsburgh and present on their importance, the issues of equity, and intersections that exist within these areas.
