I am now on my second ‘tour of duty’ on the Communications Committee. Serving on a committee is a good way to meet other people and build relationships in Nonprofit Marketers-STL. It is enjoyable being part of the team and participating in the engaging discussions we have. It feels good to be collaborating with fellow professionals knowing the projects we work on contribute to the entire Nonprofit Marketers-STL organization.
Gary Stevens, GRS Consulting
I first joined Nonprofit Marketers Network for the professional development--the programs that would give me new ideas, point out new trends and tools, and keep best practices at the front of my mind. Now I come back each month to continue developing the professional relationships I’ve made along the way. Furthermore, during the pandemic, knowing that I have a professional network I could call upon has been comforting.
