Vermont Business Magazine On October 23, 2024, Common Good Vermont will convene Vermont’s nonprofit community, allies, and partners for the first Vermont Nonprofit Summit at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Montpelier.
Registration is now open, with special early bird pricing available through August 31.
This new event will bring together nonprofit leaders from diverse sectors to share innovative ideas, best practices, and collaborative solutions to address pressing challenges in our state.
Designed to support participant learning and connection, this full-day in-person event includes:
· Keynote Panel: A New Generation Transitions to Leadership
Our sector is evolving! Join us to explore the demographic shift that is occurring in Vermont and in our nonprofit sector. Vermont Public's Mikaela Lefrak will moderate a panel of emerging nonprofit leaders to discuss how our sector can grow, support, and learn from a new generation of leadership.
· Breakout Sessions
Choose your own adventure! With two breakout sessions on the agenda featuring 12 diverse offerings, there is something for every role and every goal including engaging workshops, informative presentations, and opportunities for connection. Sessions include Nonprofit Mergers and Consolidations, Navigating Identity-Based Conflict in the Workplace, Managing Staffing Needs on a Tight Budget, a Resource Roundtable and Meet & Greet with funders, and more!
· Communities of Practice
Find your people! As defined by Etienne Wegner, a community of practice is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. In this spirit, these breakouts will help you to connect with and learn from your peers with similar roles or interests through informal facilitated discussions. Focus areas will be finalized based on registrations, but in addition to an ED Roundtable, there will be sessions around fundraising/development, policy/advocacy, marketing/communications and more!
Whether you’re a seasoned nonprofit professional, a dedicated volunteer, or someone interested in making a difference, this Summit offers something for everyone.
“We knew nonprofits have been craving opportunities to connect,” says Common Good Vermont Director Martin Hahn, “but we are amazed by the level of interest and excitement the event is generating just leading up to the official launch!”
