2025 Spring Symposium: Lifting as We Climb
The Black Nonprofit Leaders Group is excited to present our 2025 Spring Symposium! This one-day event is specially curated to support professional sustainability in our ever-evolving nonprofit landscape. This year's theme, "Lifting as We Climb", centers the importance of cultivating viable nonprofit careers. Simultaneously, our goal is to retain Black nonprofit leaders in South Carolina while paving the way for up and coming leaders to join our work. Symposium topics include operating in multigenerational workforces, a young Black nonprofit professionals' panel, and a workshop with Kenya Dunn surrounding professional sustainability and wellbeing.
Tickets are $20 with lunch provided. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or require any special accommodations.
