NONPROFIT NETWORKING GROUP
New this year, we also offered the Nonprofit Networking Group, open to all registered nonprofits. This group met the first Friday of each month and provided nonprofit professionals with an opportunity to meet in a structured, positive, professional environment to share ideas, seek solutions, collaborate on efforts where possible, learn how others are facing challenges with funding and other common issues, and much more. To learn more about when this group will begin meeting again, please contact us. We look forward to maintaining a venue for establishing new relationships within the nonprofit community.
