Meet Sarah Hakwins
Who's behind AccessPoint Collective?
APC was founded by Sarah Hawkins, a longtime Executive Assistant based in Boston.She has spent more years than she cares to think about navigating venues, vendors, budgets, offsites, board dinners, and last-minute logistics across startups, biotech, and corporate + nonprofit environments.After seeing her colleagues struggle (and the struggle is real for her, too) with sourcing in the EA Facebook groups: “Who do you use for…?” "Where should I book the Board Dinner?" "What corporate gifting vendor do you use?" she started organizing the answers - and the Toolkit grew from there.Every resource in the Toolkit comes from real-world use, not Google searches.If the resource doesn’t help an admin do their job faster or better, or if we wouldn't recommend it? It doesn’t go in.
This is the lowest membership pricing APC will ever offer.
Pre-Launch pricing disappears February 14.
Lock in $119/year forever.

FAQs
What exactly am I getting with APC Membership?
Membership includes full access to the EA Toolkit, invitations to APC events and workshops, member pricing on all gatherings, early access to new releases, and connection to a curated network of EAs and office managers across Greater Boston.Is the EA Toolkit included with APC Membership?
Yes. The Toolkit is a core part of membership. It’s not available separately. Think of it as your centralized, continually updated planning resource.How does the Launch Special pricing work?
Join before February 15 and you lock in the $119/year membership rate for life. Starting February 15, the annual rate becomes $149/year.Is this a one-time fee?
No, it’s an annual membership, renewing each year.
If you join during the Launch Special, your discounted rate stays $119/year as long as you remain a member.Will the EA Toolkit grow over time?
Absolutely. The Toolkit is designed to evolve constantly — with new vendors, venues, categories, planning tools, and insider recommendations added regularly based on community needs and suggestions.Who is APC Membership for?
Executive assistants, chiefs of staff, office managers, workplace ops, event planners, people-team pros - anyone responsible for meetings, events, logistics, or creating great experiences at work and off-site.What if I’m not based in the Boston area?
Everyone is welcome to join! However, the EA Toolkit currently focuses on Metro Boston-area vendors and venues, but several categories (gifting, tools, workplace resources, planning templates) are useful anywhere. The community is Boston-heavy today and will expand over time.Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You retain access to everything through the end of your paid year, and your locked-in rate stays yours as long as your membership remains active.Why do I need this?
Because your time is too valuable to spend chasing recommendations buried in Facebook groups, inboxes, and text threads. APC Membership finally consolidates everything — the resources, the community, and the support — into one powerful hub built specifically for admins.Will there be more member perks coming?
Yes. 2026 will bring additional workshops, new Toolkit features, expanded event programming, and vendor-hosted experiences. All included in your membership.Why isn’t this free? Why a membership fee? I feel like I could just do this myself.
Membership is the combination of network + resources — the community and the Toolkit together — and both require ongoing support. Keeping the Toolkit updated, adding new vendors, expanding categories, hosting events, coordinating FAM tours, and maintaining a high-quality network all take real time and infrastructure. You’re not paying for a one-time list; you’re paying for a continually updated resource plus the community, access, and opportunities that come with it.
