Description

LEVEL UP & LAUNCH with the insights, tools, and inspiration to take your business higher.

Why You Should Attend

The Lakes Region Chamber launched a professional development series — Level Up & Launch — designed to turn ideas into action. This session, Empowering Nonprofits, delivers real stories, local success examples, and easy-to-apply strategies that will help you save time, boost productivity, and increase profits.

This isn’t another tech lecture. It’s a conversation with your peers — local business leaders who understand the challenges, have proven success stories and represent a variety of nonprofit industry sectors. You’ll hear what’s working, what’s not, and how to get started no matter your size, team, or budget.

Walk away with fresh ideas, tools, and conversations that will continue in your business — immediately.

Panelists include:

Jeff Ladieu, Camp Resilience
Melissa Howard, Granite VNA
Veronica Rosa, Concord Hospital
Peter Saliba/Laura Brousseau, Mayhew Program
TBA

Facilitated by: Jenn Prince, Franklin Savings Bank
