<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#606060;font-family:Georgia;font-size:15px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">Dear EGPS Community,</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#606060;font-family:Georgia;font-size:15px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">As we close out another remarkable year, we’re still feeling the energy from our Annual Conference - <em>Navigating Differences: Authenticity, Self-Expression, and Restorative Practices in Groups</em>. The weekend reminded us why we gather: to connect deeply, learn bravely, and build community that heals.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#606060;font-family:Georgia;font-size:15px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">Each conversation, workshop, and shared moment reflected what EGPS does best - creating spaces where group leaders and members can explore difference with empathy, courage, and care. It’s through these experiences that we grow, not just as professionals, but as people.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#606060;font-family:Georgia;font-size:15px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">Now, as we turn toward 2026, we invite you to help us sustain this work. Your year-end gift will help <strong>replenish our reserve fund</strong>, providing the stability that keeps EGPS strong - so we can continue offering transformative trainings, conversations, and events like the Annual Conference for years to come.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#606060;font-family:Georgia;font-size:15px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">Every contribution, large or small, strengthens our collective foundation.<br>
Together, we can ensure that EGPS remains a home for learning, connection, and restorative growth.<br>
