ED Forums
ED Forums are a low-effort, low-cost, and high-impact opportunity to gather with your peers and learn from each other. Each forum gives you the chance to participate in three roundtable discussions led by an experienced executive director.
Participants share problems and solutions and trade tips and resources. For over a decade, ED Forum participants consistently report that they left with actionable information and an extra bounce in their step from networking with others in our field.
The 2013 ED Forums are from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at the 2100 Building on the following dates:

The Leadership Series
These quarterly gatherings are an opportunity to delve into an issue impacted nonprofits, to share great stories and to meet other nonprofit leaders and emerging leaders. A little inspiration can be a good thing and a new contact may well become and important partner or a life-long friend.
If you have a topic you would like suggest or a speaker you would like to hear, let us know.
The next Leadership Series will be in January. Sign up for our e-newsletter and subscribe to our blog to receive event information.
