YANA Colorado will convene a Roundtable for nonprofit and social enterprise leaders and board members. The YANA Roundtable will provide an educational forum and facilitated conversation to address relevant topics in a practical context. Seasoned professionals and newcomers alike will gather to learn, share information and discuss their experience.
