We facilitate roundtables in two styles:
- Closed Organizational Roundtables, consisting of a small group of leaders from a single nonprofit organization or network.
- Open Community Roundtables, consisting of a small group of nonprofit leaders from a variety of organizations.
The roundtable group comes together once a month to create a high-trust, collegial community to learn best practices, share successes and challenges, and lend support to each other to achieve their goals. In 2020, we launched a COVID-focused virtual nonprofit executive roundtable to provide nonprofit executive directors the community they need to face challenges none of them have ever seen. We continue to offer the virtual option and have found major success in doing so. Learn more.
