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

“Spokes is the only place we go for nonprofit resources—there is simply no other in the county. Our agency recently participated in workshops on Board Governance.  I have to say there was an instant and profound change in my Board: a group previously on the verge of splintering walked out of those sessions unified, with a strong sense of rights, responsibilities, and how to accomplish our vision.”
