The Network Behind Boston’s Best Meetings and Events
Hi, I’m Sarah Hawkins
I’m a full-time executive assistant, and I founded AccessPoint Collective (APC) to solve a problem I was living every day.
Like most administrative pros, I’m responsible for sourcing vendors, planning offsites, booking travel, organizing executive dinners, and making decisions that carry real visibility and often high stakes. What I needed wasn’t more lists or cold outreach or more sophisticated Google searches — it was trusted relationships and a way to build them before the pressure was on.
AccessPoint Collective began as a small peer network built around shared recommendations and thoughtful introductions.
It remains intentionally sized, with growth guided by usefulness and trust.
We connect administrative professionals with the vendors and venues they rely on through curated experiences: dinners, lunches, tours, and workshops designed to encourage conversation. We keep groups small so people can hear each other at the table — whether that conversation is professional, social, or somewhere in between.
This network is built for visibility, yes — but the right kind. Visibility that leads to familiarity, trust, and repeat collaboration over time.
AccessPoint Collective isn’t meant to replace how you work. It’s meant to support it — with better access, clearer insight, and relationships that hold up when the stakes are high.
