Strengthening NB's Nonprofit Sector

Two weeks ago nonprofit leaders from across NB came to Renaissance College for two days to explore how to better lead their organizations. It was called Community Perspectives/Perspectives communautaire. Here's the press release.

The innovation needed to solve challenges like poverty, economic development, and sustainability means we often don’t know where the ideas or inspiration will come from. In co-organizing the event with the Community Non-Profit Organizations Secretariat and Renaissance College, we wanted to create the conditions for idea generation and creativity.

Sessions occurred in both official languages and thoughtful practitioners engaged participants in topics such as partnerships, social innovation, social marketing, and community inclusion networks.

Following the event, one of the participants sent organizers this gratifying email:

I would like to thank all of you and the countless other participants that made the past few days so enjoyable – I have some new and strengthened partnerships – I knew I was in the right place when I knew half the people, and didn’t yet know the other half – The facility was great – the space was safe – everybody offered something of value to the conversation and responsibility was shared.

I don’t know exactly what will come next, however I am sure that it will be awesome!

Here’s to trailblazing!

Well said.
