ANNUAL SPRING MEETING
Monday, May 18th | 9am - 4pm | Lancaster, PA
We are so excited to return to Lancaster, Pennsylvania for our Annual Spring Meeting!
We have made a few changes from last year to better align with feedback, including what we heard from members during our year-end planning survey. This meeting will be an opportunity to come together as a network to share and strategize together - that is what you value most about CBFN!
The one-day meeting will be designed as a funder only space, but through intentional alignment with the Choose Clean Water Conference there is still an opportunity to connect with issue experts and non-profit partners. A funder-only Spring Meeting, paired with the Choose Clean Water Conference, is intended to strike a balance between funder-only time and time with non-profit partners. Don’t worry, our Annual Fall Retreat will still include outside speakers!
Some logistics will be different than in recent years. More information is provided below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
