SUMMARY:Strength in Strategy: From Challenge to Opportunity – Part 2 Offers & Needs Market (OANM)
DESCRIPTION:The nonprofit sector is famously tight on resources\, and many of us know this to be our reality. Yet\, we are rich in community. Join us for this Offers & Needs Market\, a guided session designed to create strategic connections across our nonprofit ecosystem. \nWe all have needs\, and we all have something to offer. Offers don’t have to be free — simply knowing what resources exist in our community is valuable. Whether you’re a consultant offering support services\, an organization with extra space\, or a leader providing mentorship\, this session invites us to collectively build a richer\, more connected nonprofit community. Participants will engage in interactive exercises to identify and share their resources\, uncover new opportunities\, and forge meaningful connections to strengthen the sector as a whole. \nFacilitated by Jason Fredlund \nDoors open at 1 PM\, light refreshments provided. \nRegister Now
