We love the feel of autumn for many reasons, including the back-to-school mindset and the promise of fresh learning. For our many friends who lead local community nonprofits, we are especially mindful of the need to discuss new ideas with peers. No better place than the Nonprofit Support Center (NSC).

The Nonprofit Support Center, a program of Greater Worcester Community Foundation, presents local seminars at little or no cost to help staff and board members, whether new to the role or seasoned veterans.

I hope that you will be able to take advantage of any or all of these offerings. More details, including registration requirements, are available at the NSC Calendar link here.

The short list is below.
