“I’ve been attending Golden Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable meetings for 5 years now, and when I can’t go, I almost always send staff. Nonprofit leadership is incredibly complex and one of the greatest sources of support is sharing with, and learning from, other nonprofit leaders about their challenges as well. The Golden Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable always delivers: every session, practical advice emerges that we can all take back to our organizations and communities so that we can apply something we’ve learned. I’m proud to keep this group going, which has given my organization, and so many others in the Golden area, valuable nuggets of information and insight that just isn’t shared in the same format anywhere else.”

About the Golden Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable

Vision

A visible, thriving and synergistic nonprofit community that inspires engagement and improves quality of life.

Mission

To create opportunities for collaboration and networking, foster connections between nonprofits and the larger community, and provide professional development for nonprofit leaders located in and/or serving Golden.

History

The Golden Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable (GNLR) was founded in February 2018 by Golden Civic Foundation’s Executive Director, Kim Mangle, who was at that time a local resident and nonprofit consultant. She worked with Connects Workspace and the Golden Civic Foundation to conduct a needs assessment of Golden-area nonprofits in late 2017. The findings indicated that nonprofits desired more ways to connect with one another and to the larger community. The GNLR now includes numerous nonprofits and community partners, located in and/or serving the Golden community.

Since then, the focus has grown to include everything from program evaluation, financial management, advocacy, and meeting facilitation, to board governance, succession planning, and engaging the next generation.

The GNLR holds bi-monthly meetings that provide networking, collaboration, and professional development opportunities.

Leadership

The GNLR is led by a volunteer Steering Committee of local nonprofit leaders, with the support of the Golden Civic Foundation, that is committed to help create opportunities for collaboration and networking, foster connections between nonprofits and the larger community, and provide professional development for nonprofit leaders located in and/or serving Golden.
