Executive Director Forums
Networking and educational forums are hosted by the Volunteer Center to provide nonprofit leaders an opportunity to share experiences and learn new practices and methods to benefit their role and their organization. Topics are directed by nonprofit leaders and outside faciliators to assist in the discussion.
The forums are held on Wednesday mornings and will be hosted at varying nonprofit offices. The forums run from 8:15 to 9:30 AM. There is no fee for Member Agency directors. There is a $35.00 fee for non-Member Agency directors.
An invitation to attend will be sent out to all our nonprofit partners a month in advance.
If you are interested in hosting a forum at your offices or have questions about the program, please contact Karen at 610-807-0336.
