Fostering conversations and enhancing community engagement and collaborations.
Nonprofit Community Leadership Gathering
In September 2015, Our Community Foundation was invited to partner with Advisory Board member Beth Slifer to sponsor an annual gathering of Eagle County non-profit leaders. Our commitment to this important work has been strengthened over the years and our annual gathering now includes over 100 community leaders. Together we are facilitating awareness and collaboration across organizations and people so that our combined passions, power, work and expertise can transform our community.
It is truly a pleasure to be among this extraordinary nonprofit leadership community dedicated to enhancing the lives of our local residents on so many different levels. Together, we are a positive force for humankind — helping to build conversation, connection and collaboration for the betterment of all.” — Melina Valsecia, Eagle Valley Community Foundation Executive Director
SAVE THE DATE FOR OUR NEXT MEETING
We will listen, learn, and collaborate to activate community power, create space for community voice, and give the communities we serve an opportunity to create and implement ideas.
To be added to the list or to update your organization’s primary contact, please contact Grace Anshutz, Director of Development and Marketing, at grace@eaglevalleycf.org
