Roundtables

Spokes roundtables are facilitated, peer networking and problem-solving opportunities held monthly especially for Spokes members. At the start of the roundtable, participants introduce themselves and share some good news or something that’s “keeping them up at night.” They may also offer a “spotlight topic” for consideration during the course of the 60 to 90 minute session.

A hallmark of the roundtables is confidentiality. The explicit norm is “what’s said in the roundtable stays in the roundtable.” This encourages mutual support and a candid exchange of ideas.

Roundtables are free of charge and restricted to Spokes members.

Regularly scheduled roundtables:

Executive Directors/CEOs
Board Presidents/Chairs
Development Directors

From time-to-time special topic roundtables are held as well.

Find the roundtables on the Spokes Event Calendar.

Member Testimonial

In a few moments, FDO can provide more funder and grantor information that any person could assemble in a whole work week. The depth and breadth of information provided in FDO is simply not available through any other resources. I appreciate being able to access it as a Spokes member.
