Thank you to our guests from the community, local nonprofits and area fundraising organizations who attended our September Chamber Luncheon featuring special guest speaker, Donald Cooke, Vice President of The Alford Group. The post-pandemic world is full of challenges for the nonprofit sector and intense competition for resources. As we enter into the last quarter of the year, a particularly important time to inspire and generate support, we were thrilled to welcome Mr. Cooke, an expert in the field of philanthropy, to cover the topic for all of us.

A special thank you to our generous event sponsor:
