Agenda and venue information will be updated as the event develops.
The Jax Nonprofit User Group has two kinds of recurring meetings: formal quarterly meetings with an agenda, speakers, and prepared content, and bi monthly "workshop" meetings that may or may not have any formal prepared content, but is rather a chance to come together informally, share whatever challenges or problems we are working through at the time, and help each other find solutions. This meeting is the later kind -- all questions welcome! No problem too big or small! Let's find the answers together!

Lori and her husband live on a sailboat, which they expect to dock at an Intracoastal marina nearby.
In its recommendation to the board, the Transition Committee said, “Lori puts commitment to the organization’s mission and its clients at the center of her priorities.
She has a broad understanding of and experience in non-profit work, including strategic planning and implementation, program development and evaluation, budgeting and operations, volunteer management and resource development. From a large field of well-qualified candidates, we felt she was exactly the right person to lead BEAM next.”
