This informative presentation and community roundtable discussion, hosted by Rotary Charities of Traverse City and NorthSky Nonprofit Network, begin at the NMC Hagerty Center at 8:00 a.m. with registration and a continental breakfast.
David Phillips of the FSG Consulting Group in San Francisco will outline the basic tenants of Collective Impact beginning at 8:30.
