Nonprofit Leader Conversations

Nonprofit Leader Conversations

Discuss timely topics with fellow nonprofit professionals in a collaborative, small-group setting. Each session features invited experts and community leaders who share their knowledge, insights, and experiences, followed by an interactive Q&A discussion.

*Nonprofit Leader Conversations are offered free of charge; however, registration is required. A Zoom link will be sent to registered participants prior to the session.

Join us for free virtual conversations with other nonprofit leaders.

Launched in March 2020 through a partnership with UW–Madison Extension Brown County, Nonprofit Leader Conversations has grown into a dynamic forum for learning, collaboration, and fresh ideas. More than 500 nonprofit staff, executives, and board members have participated, sharing insights and strengthening connections across the nonprofit community.
