Nonprofit Council (NPC) meets the first Tuesday of the month from 11:30am – 1pm. The luncheon provides a platform for nonprofit organizations to build strategic partnerships within our community. NPC members, there are nearly 80, are constantly developing win-win synergies among the group.

Get ready to suit up and dive beneath the surface! This year our Nonprofit Council’s “Deep Dive” is an 11-month, once-a-month program designed exclusively for nonprofit leaders ready to plunge into the topics that matter most. Each session brings together education, collaboration, networking, and lunch—plus expert speakers who will guide, challenge, and encourage you as you navigate the waters of nonprofit leadership.

Whether you’re snorkeling at the surface or exploring the depths, this series will help you sharpen your tools, expand your knowledge, and surface with actionable strategies.

Quarter One: (January – March) Navigating the Currents — Data & Analysis

Start your journey by charting the waters with data. We’ll explore how to gather, interpret, and apply analysis to steer your nonprofit in the right direction. Think of it as your compass and depth gauge—helping you make informed decisions and uncover hidden opportunities below the surface.

Quarter Two: (April – June) Balancing the Buoyancy — Budgets & Cashflow

Every diver needs balance to stay afloat. This quarter, we’ll zero in on budgeting and cashflow, ensuring your organization can glide smoothly instead of being pulled under by financial undertows. Expert voices will share practical tools to help you stay buoyant and financially secure.

Quarter Three: (August – October) Making a Splash — Programming & Events

Now it’s time to make waves! We’ll deep dive into programming and events, exploring creative approaches, measurable impact, and engaging experiences that ripple out into your community. Learn how to design initiatives that don’t just float but truly make a splash.

November will be a wrap up of the entire year, and December will be our 5th Annual Beyond Words Storytelling Competition.

Every month includes:

• Networking with fellow nonprofit leaders

• Lunch and meaningful conversations

• Education and skill-building

• Collaboration and idea-sharing
