Join us our 3rd Nonprofit Council Dinner & Day Seminar titled: “The Deep Dive into Board Development: Strengthening the Leaders Who Strengthen Our Community”
A Two-Day Leadership Experience for Nonprofit Organizations & Their Board Hosted by the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce
Join us for our 3rd Annual Nonprofit Leadership Seminar, thoughtfully designed for nonprofit leaders and/or the board members who serve alongside them. This immersive experience will equip your board with clarity, confidence, and practical tools to lead with purpose and impact. And once again we will continue our powerful evening of connection before the full-day seminar begins with our Speaker’s Dinner.
3rd Annual Speaker’s Dinner & Jeffersonian Conversation - The Evening Before the Seminar: Before we dive into board development, we gather around the table. Attendees and presenters are invited to an intimate Jeffersonian Dinner, where each table will engage in guided conversation around a meaningful leadership question. After dinner, the room comes together for a collective discussion sharing insights, perspectives, and real-world experiences.
This intentional format allows:
Attendees to connect personally with our presenters
Board members and nonprofit leaders to learn from one another
Honest, open dialogue in a collaborative setting
Relationships to form before all the learning begins
This is not your typical networking dinner. It is a curated leadership conversation designed to deepen understanding and strengthen community among those who serve.
