Nonprofit Council Meeting

The Nonprofit Council is open to executive directors, senior staff or board members of chamber member nonprofit organizations for networking, learning and collaborative opportunities. 

Topic: Resilient Futures: Business Development & Innovation Strategies for Nonprofits
Presented by: Evaleen DeMarco, Girls on the Run and Leslie Slingby, Mission Kids 


In response to the ongoing economic challenges affecting the nonprofit sector, Resilient Futures 2026 is a forward-looking initiative designed to empower nonprofit organizations with adaptive business development strategies and creative event models that generate sustainable revenue, deepen community engagement, and enhance mission impact.

Through a series of hands-on workshops, strategic partnerships, innovation labs, and low-cost/high-impact event templates, this program will equip nonprofits with the tools and insights needed to navigate financial constraints while remaining agile and mission-driven.
