  Second Annual Nonprofit Collaboration Summit Oct. 12

  ALAMOSA— San Luis Valley nonprofits are invited to attend the Second Annual SLV Nonprofit Collaboration Summit on Thursday, Oct. 12 at River of Life Church. This one-day event is an opportunity for nonprofit staff, volunteers and board members to network, share and collaborate. As one participant stated about last year’s summit, “The most valuable part of this event is getting a broader picture of SLV nonprofits and having the opportunity to connect and discuss, and meeting people face to face.” As a result of the San Luis Valley Rural Philanthropy Days event held in Creede in September 2015, a coalition of Valley nonprofit leaders began planning an annual Nonprofit Collaboration Summit. Last year, 121 attendees representing more than 70 nonprofits connected with others across the Valley. At this year’s event, attendees will have the chance to engage in purposeful networking and discover innovative ways to share resources. Participants will engage in facilitated discussions addressing the most pressing challenges facing the Valley.
