About this event

The Chamber's Nonprofit Affinity Group gathers the first Thursday of most months to connect with each other and benefit from some professional development.  We start at 12:30 with time to network, then have our presenter begin at 1 pm.  We welcome you to join us!  
 

This month: Creative Leadership: Practical Ways to Do More with Less in Your Nonprofit

Join fellow nonprofit leaders for a highly interactive, engaging roundtable led by leadership coach and speaker Bobby Hulme-Lippert (BHL Coaching). Together, we’ll explore simple, repeatable ways to strengthen your organization’s creativity – the ability to see new options, unlock the wisdom already in your people, and move forward with momentum and clarity.
You’ll leave with:
• Greater clarity on your next best strategic priorities
• Fresh, practical ideas for stretching time and capacity without burning out your people
• A ready-to-use “Calm is a Creative Multiplier” meeting prompt to spark better problem-solving and shared ownership.
