Emerging Nonprofit Leader Network

The Emerging Nonprofit Leaders Network is for anyone interested in growing their leadership skills. Ideal for those with fewer than 10 years experience in nonprofits, those new to the sector, students, or anyone seeking skills to grow their leadership, this brown bag lunch is aimed at creating strong professional networks for emerging leaders in nonprofits of all sizes, types, and focus areas.

Each month you will explore a topic with your peers, share information, swap resources, and build on skills you can take back to your organization. You are encouraged to bring questions, samples, and insights related to the topic of the day--and don't forget your lunch! The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, ideal for getting to better know current and future colleagues. Seeking a job? You're welcome to come - also see MCN's 2009 Job Seekers Guide.

Each session begins with a few rounds of "speed networking," where you will have the opportunity to meet others in a facilitated way, as well as time for group discussion of the topic and a chance to network informally. The Emerging Nonprofit Leaders Network is free no RSVP is necessary! If you have any questions about the series, please contact Bao Vang at 651-757-3087, or by email.

MCN is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network - Twin Cities Chapter. YNPN - TC chapter will be co-sponsoring and co-facilitating the Emering Nonprofit Leaders Network starting in September 2009.
