NONPROFIT WORKOUT UPDATE

Now that summer is over, the 2007 Nonprofit Workout is just around the corner! Workshops are filling up fast - several have only a few slots
remaining - and we’ve been busy working on some exciting new features for the conference website, including our first podcasts and upcoming blog. While the first two podcasts are open to the public, there are others in the works that will be available to conference registrants only - register now so you don’t miss the next installments.

Also rapidly approaching is the deadline for the discounted hotel rate. Reservations must be made by October 16 to receive the special conference rate. Learn more.


WHAT'S NEW AT THE NONPROFIT CENTER

Are you a small nonprofit looking for an affordable home surrounded by other nonprofits? The NonProfit Center has just finished building out 5000+ airy, beautiful square feet for small nonprofits looking for shared space and is now accepting applications. Shared space comes with T1 Internet service, office equipment, full access to all NPC meeting rooms and other amenities.
Interested? Contact Jackie Cefola at jcefola@tsne.org.

This summer the NonProfit Center website began implementing several changes designed to make the site easier to navigate and more interactive for the community. Over the next few weeks we will be continuing to improve the site, with the integration of a calendar, blogs and other new content. Check out the new site organization and let us know what you think.
