A major announcement:
Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation is teaming up with Essex County Community Foundation as they are presenting the 2021 Institute for Trustees, an annual conference that invites non-profit leaders to gather together for educational workshops and future networking opportunities.
This partnership was built on the success of The Board Leadership Forum that was formed back in 2018 which was designed for board leaders and executive directors as this event will feature 24 virtual workshops from leading non-profit organizations as they bring opportunities to connect with hundreds of peers equally committed to the leadership roles.
Grant Program Gives Berkshire Organizations Shot in the Arm
