This year the Workshop is being held from 9:00 am until 3:30 pm on March 7th at the Royal Canadian Legion in Owen Sound.

In the afternoon, a variety of presenters will touch on subjects of importance to the nonprofit sector such as Networking among Local Nonprofits, “Leadership Reimagined: A New Approach to Building Leadership Resilience” presented by Mike Wright & Melri Wright of Ledge Leadership and “Maximizing your Digital Presence: learn strategy to make your organization stand out” by local marketing consultant Kirsty Stevenson.
