What's New
Symposium Flier. Check it out!
Thursday, April 10, 2012
You are receiving this note from me personally to invite you and your non-profit agency and Board Members to a local symposium set for May 15, 2012 at the Benton Franklin United Way building in Kennewick for a half day Governance Symposium.
A couple of years ago our local Benton Franklin Volunteer Center closed its doors. I miss what this agency offered us here in our communities. But I have very good news for you today. I’d like to introduce a new non-profit force called “Washington Nonprofits” a Washington State wide agency that is presently organizing all non-profits to join together and learn, communicate and share important information regarding non-profits. The Edith Bishel Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired has become a member and now receives:
• Washington State Legislative Alerts
• Weekly newsletters on-line
• Events and training
Just to name a few benefits that I personally look forward to. I highly recommend that you open the attachment and join us on May 15th and not only become a member of this 162 strong membership but to educate your Board on new leadership perspectives and development. For a yearly $25 membership (offer only good till June 2012) your non-profit agency can become a part of a strong and very well organized group that will bring Washington State non-profits together while keeping us informed on important issues. Join today and brighten your agency horizon!
Feel free to contact me at my office if you have any further questions or to contact Genia Seghetti with Washington Nonprofits at 509-688-4568 and I look forward to seeing you and your Board on May 15, 2012. Please forward this note on to other non-profits that will be interested in this new state wide opportunity. Thank you.
