Are you the volunteer leader of a nonprofit with little or no paid staff? Perhaps you are the board president or the founder. You may or may not have a formal title, but are you the person in charge—the person who oversees and coordinates what your nonprofit is doing?

If you are, come join others in a similar role to exchange ideas and discuss common challenges.

Spokes roundtables are facilitated, peer networking and problem-solving opportunities. At the start of the roundtable, participants introduce themselves and share some good news and/or something that’s “keeping them up at night.” They may also offer a “spotlight topic” for discussion during the course of the 60 minute session.

A hallmark of the roundtables is confidentiality. The explicit norm is “what’s said in the roundtable stays in the roundtable.”  As we meet in Zoom, we request that participants display their name and organization and have their video on.
