Join us for this in-person gathering for development professionals to discuss what you’re seeing in your work and crowdsource ideas from your peers across the state. This will be a space for participants to share stories and advice from their experiences in the field and you will have an opportunity to share your ideas for topics during the registration process. As we continue our collective equity journey, we invite you to bring forward equity-related topics to our roundtables throughout the year.
