Executive Director's Roundtable: 18 January 2024

Serving as a nonprofit executive director is a great privilege and a particular challenge. EDs wear many hats, from holding the organization's vision to generating financial support, from fostering partnerships to taking care of everyday admin. To support nonprofit leaders who face these challenges, Grant County Community Foundation will be hosting the next Nonprofit Executive Director Roundtable on Thursday, 18th January 2024 here at the Grant County Community Foundation offices. The session will run from noon to 2:00 pm, and will include lunch. Join us to connect with fellow nonprofit leaders as we share experiences and strategize about needed supports going forward. 

Any person in a leadership position in their nonprofit is eligible to apply to attend. Contact Bernadette Smyth at grantcountycommunityfoundation@gmail.com as soon as possible to express interest, as space is limited and we already have a number of leaders signed up.
