Empowering Communities, Empowering Change: The Role of Grantmakers as Community Leaders--June Thought Leadership Webinar Discussion!

Hello all!

In an effort to make our monthly thought leadership webinar series more of a monthly conversation, I've decided to open a discussion here in Community ahead of each new webinar to introduce the topic and start the conversation.

I'll provide a description of the webinar, link to any associated blogs we're posting, and the speaker's biographical information.

I invite you to ask questions that you'd like answered here or in the webinar; as well as to share any experiences you have relevant to the subject! I'll be inviting the speakers to join us here in the discussion both leading up to the webinar as well as for a post-webinar Q/A.

The June Blackbaud Grantmaking Thought Leadership Webinar is:
