Connecting again at the 43rd Celebration
More than 200 leaders from the nonprofit, government, philanthropic and business sectors reserved their place at a “virtual” table as the Center celebrated its 43rd Annual Celebration on November 9, 2022.
This event was hosted virtually once again, allowing for guests to mix and mingle with their peers from afar while still giving us an experience as close to an in-person event as possible. Each attendee received a gift certificate to order breakfast to their door and a special welcome packet which included a copy of the book Good Economics for Hard Times, the 2022 Nonprofit Agenda, and the third edition of the Center’s Minimalist Cooking – Big Flavors, Small Budgets cookbook.
We’d like to thank all who attended and those who contributed to the event’s success!
