ABNN Events
ABNN Monthly Gatherings
Join ABNN for online conversations through a Monthly Gathering.
We heard from nonprofits across Alberta that you are looking for opportunities to connect with each other and the ABNN Network Stewards. So we are testing space for monthly conversations as a six month pilot and hope you will join us.
These Monthly Gatherings are intended to be a brave space where nonprofit sector leaders can gather, speak, and be supported – exploring whatever is present for you. This space is meant to be informal and a place for us to learn with, from, and alongside each other. Each month will be a different conversation based on what’s happening in the nonprofit ecosystem and who attends the Gathering. Participants determine the topics to have a conversation about.
Who is this for: Whether you’re a networked organization, focused on a specific sub-sector or community in Alberta – all are welcome. This year we are welcoming two audiences - please check if the session is for Nonprofit Leaders and Managers or if it is for Operational and Front-Line Staff. We know there are different conversations to explore for each audience, so we hope you join us!
