Hey event planners! What does your work look like *after* the event is over? How are you setting "future you" up for success? How are you creating a process for reflection and a method for continual improvement of your event, year after year? Guess what? We have a blog post with some ideas ... : ) #eventplanner #nonprofitevents #fundraisingevents #projectmanagement

Live in the #WashingtonDC area? Want to learn more about the first #DemocracyFestival in the #DC region, and how you or your organization can be involved?  Join Learning Life for our next #DMV #Democracy #Festival planning meeting tonight/Tuesday, July 9, 8:00-9:30pm ET, via this Zoom: https://lnkd.in/ei7tMUpy More about DemFest below.  BE PART OF THE DMV DEMOCRACY FESTIVAL   Dance, flowers, marijuana, beer and wine all get #festivals. If democracy is so important to Americans, why don’t we have democracy festivals every year in towns and cities across the country? If Washington DC is the capital of our country, and democracy is central to American freedom, why do we have folk, kite flying, and cherry blossom festivals, but no democracy festival?   In this election year, with democracy at stake, Learning Life, a DC-based nonprofit, is organizing the first DMV Democracy Festival or DemFest, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, October 19. We’re aiming for a festival with a range of engaging activities for youth and adults, including arts performances, exhibits, game rooms, workshops, round-chair discussions, a youth citizen assembly on mental health, and a democracy market. More about DemFest here: https://lnkd.in/dQNq2T6B    If you and/or your organization would like to be involved in DemFest in any of the above or other ways, please fill out our brief DemFest Partner Survey now:  https://lnkd.in/eB7WPDyg We'll then email you updates, including info on Zoom and in-person planning meetings upcoming you can attend to get details, ask questions, and figure out how you and/or your organization can be involved.  If you'd just like to attend DemFest in Oct, and want updates, RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/eMFqBMXa

It's #GivingTuesday! Independent venues are local businesses, creative spaces, and community hubs, and at the National Independent Venue Foundation, we are working year-round to support them and their success. Make your tax-deductible gift to support our work: https://lnkd.in/eg2zaeZ8 We have to do this work together, and build the future together, so that independent venues stay competitive, and keep these local hubs thriving in the face of pressure from multi-national corporations. That’s why your ongoing support of independent venues is so critical, and why your gift to NIVF on Giving Tuesday is so important. Just as venues thrive with returning audiences, our work grows with your continued support. Add your name and help us build for the future!

Launching a national business. Fundraisers and happy hours. Teaching people how to curl (the sport, not your hair). Up for a Bonspiel, anyone? There were intros and catch-ups and updates on job searches and projects we’re working on, but, as is our usual way, we landed on a topic that garnered a lot of interest, ideas, some concern, and the acknowledgement of something that’s lacking in our region - the idea of a Welcome Wagon or at least a broad resource that helps people new to this area (or just looking for stuff to do) learn about the many activities, organizations, venues, and events that are plentiful throughout the greater Capital Region. Those of us who have been ‘round these parts long enough remember Metroland Magazine. They left the scene just a few years into the www days, but they were the go-to resource for finding out what there was to do in town - who was touring, what exhibits were on display, what events were there for us to enjoy and experience. Even though information is readily available today via our phones, desktops, and tablets, there isn’t a true aggregator of what’s going down. Understandably, that’s a tall task, and our arts and entertainment organizations are already trying to do a lot with less. It’s on us - those who plan, create, and attend events and activities to spread the word - especially to those who are new to the 518. What may be obvious to us may be completely hidden from them. Go forth and spread the word! 📢 📢 📢 Joining me this week were Kat Koppett, Rose Miller, SPHR, Joe Sullivan, Karen Candida-Lombardo, Roderick Sipe, Denise Horan, Dr. Tom Denham, Benita Zahn DPS,MS, CHWC, NBC-HWC, Lorraine Morales Cox, Ph.D., Steven Horowitz, and Kellie Fredericks.

Discover five ideas to consider for your nonprofit’s peer-to-peer event recognition program!

At The Learning Tree’s Common Ground Gathering we will learn together as we attempt to reframe and reenvision how we perceive our world. We’ll put on lenses of abundance to glimpse the hope and vitality already around us. We’ll ask questions like these: How have cultures of abundance been nurtured and cultivated? How do we create communities where each neighbor’s contributions are seen as promising and additive gifts? How have we developed, and how could we develop, our community’s capacity to envision a different, more vibrant, gracious, and collaborative world? Communities big and small—from a few individuals on city blocks and small nonprofits to colleges, university hospitals, and major foundations—are putting on these lenses, and soon we’ll convene to learn from one another, for we all have much to offer and much to learn. Thanks to De'Amon Harges, I’m pleased to be part of the local planning committee with colleagues here in Indianapolis. Join us in the Hoosier capital from Wednesday, May 15, to Friday, May 17, to learn together! If you’d like to share your (or your organization’s) work in innovative, compassionate, assets-based community formation, we’re still accepting presentation proposals! Submit proposals, register to attend, and learn more at the link below. Come and see the abundance we, and you, have to offer!
