[Hidden-tech] Mission-driven leadership networking request

[Tracy Hightower]

I recommend talking to The Community Foundation of Western MA. They know
just about every non-profit in the Pioneer Valley intimately. The Valley
Gives program helped train over 500 nonprofits in Capacity building and
CFWM knows where the needs are. The Senior Program Manager for Capacity
Building or the Vice President of Programs would be the best people to talk
to.

Tell your friend good luck and thank them for their service.
