Winter is Here: We Must Stop the Nonprofit Hunger Games @ Bellingham Golf and Country Club
Feb 9 @ 11:00 am – 1:30 pm

Have you ever questioned some of the nonprofit practices that we have all been doing for years? What if we could think about the nonprofit sector and our work in a wonderfully different way? Reconsider the donor centric model, value collaboration over competition for dollars, focus on equity and inclusion in fundraising, change our views and approach on “overhead,” and spend more time being brave and appreciating the important work that we do every day in the nonprofit sector. You won’t want to miss this edgy, informative, and fun session with the acclaimed Vu Le.
