Events for March 2015
Meadville-Western Crawford County Chamber of Commerce
Mar 10    Non-Profit Exchange
THIS MONTH?S TOPIC:
TBA
 
Who: Non-Profit Leaders in any field (arts and culture, human services, education, etc)
 
Why: Meadville has several groups to get non-profits together in an effort to better serve a specific client base (human services, etc). What we don’t have, however, is a means to share ideas and energy to keep the actual non-profits thriving! This Meadville Chamber’s Non-Profit Exchange is a monthly informal gathering of non-profit leaders or board members with a focus on solving problems and addressing issues our organizations are all facing- fundraising, staff cuts, event planning, grant writing and more!
 
When: The second Tuesday of each month at 9 am

We ask that you RSVP to be a part of this group
 
Next meeting:
Tuesday, March 10th
