Professional development trainings are a great way to boost your skills and connect with peers. Workshops are also a way to spark new ideas and re-energize yourself and your organization, especially valuable as the new year begins.

We don’t think of professional development as a luxury but as a worthwhile investment in staff. After all, they’re what make your organization great.

Here’s a list of workshops that might be of interest to you with topics ranging from getting the most out of your events to building your board’s fundraising capacity to creating an action plan. Even better, these sessions are local and free!
