The 2020 Festival of Community Directors – a year-long celebration of community governance – has just kicked off with a packed calendar of professional development for not-for-profit leaders.
The festival, now in its second year, provides dozens of ways for community board members and staff to boost their skills, and this year’s events are more accessible, affordable and timely than ever.
