PhilanthroFest is collaborating with Catalyst Miami to host the first in our ongoing series of Non-Profit Community Engagement Institutes on February 8 at the Miami Science Museum. The focus of these institutes is to provide nonprofit organizations of all sizes with both online and offline skills to reach out and connect with residents of their community to better promote their mission and enhance their organization.
The institute is an afternoon affair with several workshop sessions focusing on topics such as asset-based community development and constituent engagement. A keynote presentation by Dave Lorenzo will jumpstart the day and we'll wrap up with time for networking with other nonprofit leaders. The event will take place:
Friday, February 8, 2013
1 to 7 pm
Miami Science Museum
3280 South Miami Avenue
