Across State Lines
Across State Lines
Wednesday, February 18th
Navigating the current nonprofit landscape requires collaboration and shared strategy across our region and sector. We’re honored to be part of that effort with you.
During the Across State Lines webinar, our panelists shared several resources that we believe will be valuable as you move from high-level discussion to the day-to-day leadership of your organization.
We hope these tools will be helpful as you navigate the road ahead.
