Non-Profit Training Day is dedicated to building skills and focusing on professional development of individuals who work and/or volunteer with a non-profit organization.  Our event opens with a keynote speaker who will speak for roughly one hour.  After the keynote speech, the attendees will split into breakout sessions.  The breakout sessions will share skills and strategies to apply in attendees' professional or volunteer positions, as well as focus on topics that will further their personal and professional development.
