Help us educate nonprofit professionals. Share your knowledge.

At CT Nonprofits, we believe in educating nonprofit professional throughout Connecticut on best practices and ideas available. By having a strong and well-educated staff, nonprofit organizations will have the ability to serve their communities more effectively and efficiently. You can help in this effort by writing an educational article for one of our publications, or conducting an educational training through our Center for Professional Development, management forums, or annual conference. While we insist that guest writers and presenters refrain from “sales pitches” and “keep it educational,” the exposure to our members and guests is also sure to get your company recognition as an expert in your field, and hopefully lead to some referrals! To discuss this option in more detail, email Mark Berardi or call 860-525-5080 x14.
