The purpose of these gatherings is to learn more about the "capacity building" resources that can help nonprofits to "do more with less" and to weigh in on what and who is missing. We hope you will help us to learn more about:

    * The tools and services you use to be effective, the networks you rely on, and the people you trust.

    * Your organization's plans for the next 6-12 months and what you will need to carry out your mission.

    * Ways to cultivate and build an active and viable nonprofit network to shares news, best practices, relationships and opportunities.
These regional networking events are hosted by CommonGoodVT.org, the Vermont Community Foundation, Vermont's community access channels and nonprofit champions across the state, including CCTV Center for Media & Democracy. The events will take place at nine locations across Vermont. RSVP for the event nearest you. Seating is limited to 40-50 at each site so please sign up today (you can spread the word and "tell a friend").
