The Nonprofit Network has been dedicated to hosting virtual meetings since March 2020. We tried to return to in-person meetings in mid-2021, but the rise in COVID cases halted our plans quickly. During the pandemic, the Community Foundation has been following CDC guidelines when it comes to hosting in-person meetings and events. With the recent CDC update, we are very excited to provide our regular in-person peer group lunch meeting schedule for all groups beginning in April. We’ll kick off with a combined in-person peer group meeting for Development and Marketing on March 22, due to Development Peer Group falling during spring break. As always, plans can change, so please watch for email communication for any updates. Let's hope this is our moment to return for good!
I can't wait to see you!
