The return of regional gatherings is a plus for the field

The MidAtlantic region hosted biannual events, last meeting in 2018 before reconvening in April 2023 and April 2024. The recent Philadelphia gathering saw 40 attendees from Baltimore, DC, New York, and Philadelphia, focusing on intros, successes, and challenges. Breakout sessions covered finance, HR, fundraising, project management, and marketing. Attendees brainstormed for future gatherings, expressing interest in September meetups alongside the upcoming National Gathering in Atlanta. NNFS facilitated the event, handling registration and agenda coordination.
