Chamber Luncheon

Sept 25 | 11:30 am -1 pm 

The post-pandemic world is full of challenges for the nonprofit sector and intense competition for resources – and the need for support has never been greater.

Come join us for a review of the current philanthropy landscape including where support is coming from and where it’s going. Don will share best practices, strategies, and examples of how to build relationships, plan solicitations, move people from interest to investment – and actually ask for the contributions.

The event includes a buffet luncheon and admission is $40 for Chamber members and $45 for non-members. All RSVPs are required by Wednesday, September 18.  Register HERE.
