Thanks for Joining Us!

The CEN Leaders Institute Graduation Celebration was yet another reminder of our sector’s powerful collective impact and it was heartwarming to hear from the leaders of our last two Leaders Institute cohorts. We sincerely appreciate all of you – nonprofit community members, philanthropists, partners, and new friends – that took the time to join us!

Participants in this event enjoyed:

• Learning about CEN's commitment to IDEAL principles and participating in a land acknowledgment
• Hearing from our Board Chair and CEO for an update on CEN and the nonprofit sector as a whole
• Watching our Leaders Institute graduates share first-hand experiences and testimonials
• Participating in an awesome dance party!
• Networking with fellow nonprofit staff, volunteers, and supporters
