Executive Director Roundtable Cohort- May

Executive Director Roundtable Description: 

Being a nonprofit fundraising professional comes with unique challenges, and having peers to collaborate with is essential. Our virtual Roundtable Cohorts offer fundraising professionals a bi-monthly opportunity to connect online, focusing on specific topics to learn from and with each other. These discussions, facilitated by nonprofit leaders from across Colorado, provide a platform to engage with fellow fundraisers, funders, and other key players in the sector—all from the convenience of your own space.

We strongly encourage participants to attend each virtual roundtable to foster a collaborative environment that builds on previous discussions. These sessions are designed not only to enhance your fundraising strategies but also to provide ongoing opportunities for networking and sharing insights with other nonprofit professionals throughout the year.

Our Executive Director Cohorts meets on Tuesdays every other month  from 10:00 AM- 11:00AM.
