Turning the Page on a New Year

By Ann Coffey • 04 Jan, 2022

Our community’s nonprofits have weathered nearly two years of uncertainty and wrenching change that Covid brought our way. We’re certainly not out of the woods yet. But I have also been truly heartened by our sector’s ability to pivot, to meet human needs as they changed, to do more with less, and to act with genuine equity. The CNPE team wishes you a year with fewer crises and more opportunities to reimagine and to accomplish your mission effectively. To help you do just that, we offer you the learning/professional development events described below.
