Groups: Non-Profit

We know that working for, and running, a non profit can be tough work! That's why we started this group - to help support the unique nature of running a non-profit business.

Join staff and board members of local organizations as we meet up to exchange ideas, learn about village updates, and share resources for nonprofit success. 

When Does this Group Meet?

REGULAR SCHEDULE

The Non-Profit Affinity Group meets on the first Thursday of every month from 1 - 2 pm.

Where Does this Group Meet?

We meet at a different nonprofit location each month. Please check the Chamber calendar for details of each month's gathering! Let Mark Walden (mwalden@oprfchamber.org) know if you would like to host a meeting in 2025.
