In the month of July, we sent five staff members to Cleveland to attend the
United Philanthropy Forum's 2019 Annual Conference
, a learning and networking space for organizations working to advance, inform, and support the nation’s philanthropic sector. Our team was able to connect with peers from across the country to share strategies and resources to further our work. Our President, Ben Francisco Maulbeck, participated in a plenary discussion about
"The Power of PSO Partnership."
