Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable
In partnership with Miami Hamilton Downtown, Community Development Professionals is launching a new initiative to help strengthen community-based nonprofits, the Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable (NLR). This series offers six-sessions for nonprofit executives that address key topics relevant to nonprofit organizational development and work culture.
