Workplace and professional EA groups | EA Global London 2021

A key concern of the effective altruism community is the risk that highly engaged community members lose interest in EA (value drift). This might be especially true for those who don’t work for EA-aligned organizations. EA workplace and professional groups might be a potential countermeasure. Promising paths for impact may be strategies to attract and retain highly engaged community members and to offer support for EA allies to continuously transition towards a high impact career. The panel will discuss key uncertainties, paths to impact and some early signs of success focusing on the examples of the EA finance and consulting networks.

Panellists:
Devon Fritz | Co-founder, High Impact Professionals
Joan Gass | Managing Director, Centre for Effective Altruism
Jona Glade | Founder, Effective Altruism and Consulting Network
Meg Tong | Quantitative Strategist, Morgan Stanley
