NOACC Chamber Focus Series - Chambers and Charities

Chambers and Charities: The Common Ground and the Differences
 
Charitable organizations make up a sizeable part of the national GDP and are often valuable members of the local business community. Additionally, many chamber members find satisfaction in lending their business expertise and serve as valuable board members of those groups. So chambers across the U.S. have been embracing these connection points. There are so many commonalities between governing a charitable organization and a chamber, but also important distinctions. We will cover these details and more in this interactive webinar.
