TopHappy 2015!

 

Welcome to a New Year with lots of excitement coming to the Paul Clarke Nonprofit Resource Center!

In late December 2014 we finished the first phase of our Re-Visioning process, with input from stakeholders, and workshops with nonprofit professionals imagining a future of "wild success" at the PCNRC. All I can say is "WOW"!

For the next few months we'll be processing the feedback and recommendations from participants into programs and engaging learning opportunities for the nonprofit community. We'll be updating you as we move ahead.

Along with changes in programs at the PCNRC there will be a change in staff, as Lettie has accepted a new position with ACRES Land Trust, and January 23rd will be her last day with us. Another "WOW"!  Lettie has been a great force at the Center working with emerging leaders and supervising the Get on Board project. Her enthusiasm and dynamic energy will be greatly missed.
Wishing you the best in your new job Lettie!

Sincerely,
Marilynn & Andy
