Calling all directors, CEO and other organizational leaders! Join colleagues from across the Valley for a casual get-together. Whether you show up to share the work your organization is doing with others, to ask advice from others who’ve been in your shoes, to build connections with others in the field, or just to hang out — we hope you’ll join us! And as a bonus, we’ll even buy your first coffee!
Building off the Nonprofit Mentoring Network pilot program hosted in 2022-23, this event is part of the Community Foundation’s commitment to supporting and developing local nonprofit leaders.
This event is FREE and while no RSVP is required, filling out the form linked below will help us better tailor the Nonprofit Leaders Coffee Hour.
