NPCC Annual Meeting of Members 2018

Join us on Tuesday, March 27 at the CUNY Graduate Center for our Annual Meeting of Members. Network with NPCC members and colleagues from the Greater New York area nonprofit community. Participate in our panel discussion, “Building Members & Building Movements: Caring for our People.” In an ever-changing world our communities depend on us to ensure we are there for support. Nonprofit staff are our communities, too, and they need strategies and we need to support them as individuals and through our organizations. This panel will give you these strategies and tools.
