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.  Or come a little earlier to join a few of us for lunch (pay-your-own-way) starting at noon.  We welcome you to join us!  

Bonus for this month: it is Disability Employment Awareness Month, and we will have as a special guest Mario Martinez, Director of Day and Employment Programs at Community Support Services, sharing with us on that topic.  Two presentations for the price of one - and in the time you planned for one!  :)
