As a valued Impact Partner, we invite your key leaders and decision makers to join United Way of Convening to Build Impact over the course of the FY15-17 funding cycle. Future topics may include measuring outcomes and nonprofit governance.

Each discussion in the series will include:

• Current information about an important issue;
• Examples of how agencies are using this information effectively; and
• An opportunity to work with colleagues and determine action steps to implement best practices at your organization.

Please plan to attend sessions that apply to your areas of work and organizational needs. Monthly invitations will be distributed with RSVP information for upcoming sessions.

Stay tuned for the next discussion in the series, “Volunteers: An Organizational Asset” to be held in May.
