W.I.N. Brown Bag Lunches

W.I.N. (What Interests Nonprofits) lunches are a series of quarterly brown bag lunches, offered free to the nonprofit community. Beverages and dessert will be provided. Each lunch addresses a topic, usually with a panel or presenter, that the nonprofit groups we work with tell us they want to learn more about.

Topics include board recruitment, event planning, corporate sponsorships and fund raising.
