SUMMARY:Start-Up Nonprofits Peer-to-Peer Roundtable: Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Startup Tucson\, SCORE\, and the Center for Healthy Nonprofits are kicking off a peer support group on August 28th for startup nonprofits consisting of individuals and organizations at a similar stage of development\, aiming to support each other in navigating the challenges of establishing and growing their organizations. \nParticipants will be encouraged to share insights\, resources\, lessons learned\, and best practices related to fundraising\, program development\, governance\, and community engagement. Regularly gathering\, these discussions could facilitate networking\, collaboration\, and learning opportunities among peers. \nAdditionally\, mentors/advisors with experience in nonprofit leadership and management will help facilitate the exchange of ideas and problem-solving discussions also providing guidance\, resources\, and support to group members. Megan Finck\, Valerie Pullara\, and Paula Van Ness will join you for these discussions. \nOverall\, this new peer group will serve as a supportive community where startup nonprofits can learn from each other and build connections to accelerate their impact.
