The Association of Nonprofit Specialists is pleased to announce Candid has once again asked us to help coordinate educational sessions for its constituents, this time as part of a November virtual event.
These 60-to-90-minute pro-bono workshops will be held throughout a one-day capacity-building event hosted by Candid on a November date TBD (more info below). Each workshop typically attracts 50+ nonprofit professional attendees from the Northeast region.
This is a members-only opportunity, so if you are not currently a member of the Association of Nonprofit Specialists, now is the time to join!
Button TextHere is what some past facilitators from our network had to say about their experience:
“The partnership between Nonprofit Specialists and Candid provides a great forum for presenting fresh ideas and having some thought-provoking conversation. The room is always packed with nonprofit professionals focused on gathering knowledge, developing skills, and building their organizations’ capacity to deliver on their mission.” – Jay Weisman, Legacy Philanthropy Group
“Presenting…was not only a completely enjoyable experience, but as a consultant it produced a lot of attention for my services and expertise. Almost immediately, I secured a very prominent nonprofit as a client to build a major gift program and we continue to work together to this day.” – Peter Heller, Peter J. Heller Consulting
“Working with Nonprofit Specialists and Candid on this session allowed me to show current and potential new clients how corporate approaches can benefit nonprofits without overwhelming already tapped staffs. The team worked with me to make a condensed workshop go off seamlessly including hands-on participation. Facilitating sessions like this one are an excellent way for me to showcase the high value services we provide. Thank you!!!” – Robin Yates, Yates Advisory LLC
