DESCRIPTION
The monthly Roundtable provides a forum for nonprofit executive directors to share what is happening in their organizations — and get feedback from peers. It’s a risk-free, professionally facilitated environment that examines key topics like how to nurture relationships with your board and various human resources issues.
Lumity offers a monthly Executive Director Roundtable at two locations: at Lumity in the Loop and in DuPage County. The Roundtable costs $99 per year for each participant.
