"I attend as many CNE workshops as my schedule allows. The topics are diverse. The programs are interactive and always conducted by experts in their respective fields. I benefit, not only for my role as a Literacy Volunteer board member, but also for my professional (for-profit) business endeavors."
Kevin O'Connor, Board Member Literacy Volunteers
These lunches are designed to give individuals an opportunity to learn practical, actionable tools/facts/strategies that can be used by all size organizations immediately. In addition, they will create a lively forum for discussion and an opportunity to learn from each other.
There is no charge for members, and a $10 charge for non-members (please note that guests may only attend once without becoming a member). Walk-ins are welcome unless otherwise noted, and payment for non-members can be made at or after the event. However, registering beforehand--by phone or email--will ensure that you receive any materials. How to Register.
