On April 11, we held the first installment of the "Better Together" series in collaboration with AFP Greater Cincinnati, Interact for Health, OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence, and Pro Bono Partnership of Ohio. 75 people heard from UC's Dr. Michael Jones and Annie Hugenberg about the economic outlook for nonprofits post-COVID. There has been a lot of interest in continuing this discussion, including AI trends that they discussed. Our next event will be July 18 on Measuring Impact. Stay tuned to all the partner organization's communications for registration information.
