The ABC’s of 501c3’s

You have questions about nonprofit work. The good news is that you are likely not alone. Your peers probably have the same or similar questions. The great news is that the WVNPA finds the answers for you! Join us for our Summer Series: ABC’s of 501c3’s every other Wednesday beginning June 8th at 11 AM.

Experienced professionals and consultants will answer questions that will strengthen your work – and your nonprofit. These informative sessions are perfect for:

• People thinking of starting a nonprofit
• People early in their nonprofit  careers 
• People experienced in the sector ready to expand knowledge areas
• People new to the sector
• People transitioning from the private sector 
• People looking for their first nonprofit job
• People that are serving on boards
• People that are serving as volunteers
• People that are outgoing extroverts
• People that are weird introverts
• Dog people
• Cat people
• People People
• All the People!

These sessions are FREE for all WVNPA members and $10 for nonmembers (save $10 when registering for all 5 sessions).
