  • Strategic Planning
  • Resource & Fund Development
  • Marketing/Communications & Media Relations

Topic experts, business leaders and seasoned executive directors bring hands-on, real world experience to each session. In addition to delivering the training and information you need to perform better, EDI enables you to build relationships, share information, and gain support from your nonprofit executive peers.
