New Professionals Roundtable Cohort- August
New Professionals Roundtable Description:
Starting a career in the nonprofit sector can be both exciting and challenging. Our virtual New Professionals Roundtable Cohorts offer nonprofit professionals a bi-monthly opportunity to connect with peers and build valuable skills. Focused on key topics relevant to your professional growth, these sessions provide a supportive space to learn, share experiences, and engage with nonprofit leaders and emerging professionals across Colorado. This roundtable is open to individuals who are new to the nonprofit sector, seasoned nonprofit professionals new to Colorado, nonprofit leaders pivoting to a new role, and those supervising new professionals. In this roundtable series, "new professional" is self-determined and we welcome everyone who wants to learn, listen, and share. Attendees are able to join this roundtable at point in the calendar year
We strongly encourage participants to attend each virtual roundtable to foster a sense of continuity and collective learning. These sessions are designed not only to help you strengthen your knowledge of nonprofit operations, fundraising, and leadership, but also to provide ongoing opportunities for networking, mentorship, and collaboration with other new professionals throughout the year.
Our New Professionals Roundtable Cohort meets on the 1st Thursday of every other month (February, April, June, August, October, December) from 12:30AM- 1:30AM (MST) with the exception of January.
