The Community Action Partnership has been assessing the real and perceived impacts to our local nonprofits this year from policy changes, but it has been difficult to get a clear picture. Eric Emmert from Dorn Policy group will help our members understand the forecast for the macroeconomic environment as well as things that will specifically impact the nonprofit sector. Join us on June 10th, 3:30PM at The Studios for a discussion about what changes are realistically going to happen so that our nonprofit organizations can make better strategic decisions.
