Nonprofit professionals from across the region gathered last week at Marathon’s city hall for the third annual Florida Keys Nonprofit Day to share knowledge, collaborate and elevate the effect of local organizations.
Hosted by the Florida Keys Funders Alliance — composed of the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, Ocean Reef Community Foundation and United Way of Collier and the Keys — the event featured speakers, including Will Bowen and Bruce Turkel, alongside nonprofit accounting expert Westin Fengler. Attendees gained insights on leadership, communication and financial strategies. A networking reception was sponsored by First State Bank of the Florida Keys.
“This is one of our favorite days of the year,” said Elizabeth Brown, interim CEO for the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys. “It’s a chance to bring high-quality professional development to our local nonprofits who do so much for our community. Each year gets better as we learn and respond to our nonprofit partners to bring them the timely resources they need to carry out their missions.”
