Please note: This event is exclusively for non-profit Executive Directors, CEOs, and equivalent positions. This networking event was formerly known as Wine & Wisdom, but in 2020 we'll be looking to increase accessibility with different venues and times, some of which are not so wine-friendly.
Edmonton's non-profit leaders connect regularly at The E.D. Room, a space for casual conversation that generates ideas and inspires collective action. Each edition sees different leaders taking the stage to lead discussions on a variety of leadership topics, from managing boards and building team culture to creative fundraising and managing change.
The E.D. Room is built on the belief that consistent networking and challenging conversation is essential to creating a strong and sustainable non-profit sector. Don't miss this opportunity to join your peers in a comfortable atmosphere and pick their brains on the issues leaders face in the non-profit sector!
Executive Directors Amy MacKinnon (Paralympic Sports Association), Ashley Brosda (The Brain Care Centre), and Olle Lagerquist (Spinal Cord Injury Alberta) will share how they turned multiple competing galas into one successful collective fundraising event. The trio will discuss how the idea emerged, how they shared responsibility and accountability, how the partnership has grown, and why it's important for non-profit leaders to think differently about working together towards common goals.
Tickets are limited and this event regularly sells out, so don't hold off on registering for this and future E.D. Room events! Lunch will be provided.
The E.D. Room is open to all Edmonton area non-profit Executive Directors and CEOs, and will be of particular interest to leaders of human services organizations. We encourage organizations to share this invitation with other Executive Directors/CEOs in your network!
"People talk about bike riding when they want to remind us that some things, once learned, are not forgotten. What they don't mention is how we learned. No one learns to ride a bike from a book, or even a video. You learn by doing it. Actually, by not doing it. You learn by doing it wrong, by falling off, by getting back on, by doing it again." - Seth Godin
