CNTC + CNA/CANPO Partnering Meeting
CNTC organizers met April 21st, with Sara Raab from the Colorado Nonprofit Association, to discuss shared goals and ways we can support one another. Our goals are very much in line, and CNTC was received favorably, especially as a resource for presentation and training at the CNA fall nonprofit summit (October 29, 30 in Denver).
CNA is currently working with World Ways, for some training and presentation management. They have typically left technical training to other area organizations such as CRC/NPower, but some of the topic lines are blurry. e.g., is social media a technology topic? or marketing? or volunteer management? CNA is planning leadership luncheon for later this year, on social media.
CNTC should connect with other area groups such as Metro Volunteers, CRC/NPower, and the Denver Foundation.
