Power Up with Finance or Communications Coaching

Five Things We Miss About

In-Person Workshops:

Excitement and laughter in the room before we start
Scented flip chart markers
View of Jack’s Peak from the conference room
Delicious salads (R.I.P. Wild Thyme Deli)
Learning about all of the nonprofits out there

CNE continues to offer virtual opportunities to learn and connect. We know it’s not the same. While we don’t have a timeline yet for returning in-person, we are discussing how our plans can support the health and safety of all.

Lets stay in touch!
