Running a non-profit is a pretty tough business. When I’m presented with the opportunity to attend a free workshop to learn new tools and strategies that can benefit my organization and the people it serves, I take advantage of it. I am the Director of STRIVE-New Haven, a United Way partner agency, and I recently attended a one-day Harwood Institute seminar on October 21. It was a day that inspired great thought and conversation, and was certainly a call to action for myself and the other individuals represented in the room to turn outward towards our community.
