MCF CEO Peer Gathering

Join your MCF CEO peers for a gathering focused on you. We heard from you that you want more opportunities to spend time together, engaged in peer conversations, and digging into the topics that matter most to you and your organization.

Whether you’re the CEO, the president, or the SVP of corporate giving – you know that leadership today is complex. Each leader must figure out the best way to balance the needs of staff, the board of directors, nonprofit partners, and the broader community.

On this day, come together to discuss pressing questions and leave a little lighter knowing that you’re supported by a strong network of peers.
