About this Affinity Group
Nonprofit CEOs and executive directors share experiences, ideas, and resources while learning from each other and working through real-time issues. Along the way, they build new connections and create potential partnerships within a small peer group of fellow leaders. Space is limited to allow colleagues the supportive space to address real-time challenges they are facing during the five-month period. Discussions are driven by participants in a safe and confidential space, with guided facilitation by CNM President/CEO, Regina Birdsell.
