Building Nonprofit Board and Executive Leadership for Service Today and Tomorrow
Our Mission
NonProfitConnect enhances the impact of greater Mercer County nonprofits by building an increasingly diverse, skilled, and engaged group of board and staff leaders.

Designed for nonprofit staff and board members, this informative and inspiring session will remind you why you became a leader in the nonprofit sector while giving you a chance to laugh along the way. We will have a networking breakfast before the program. After the program, you will have the opportunity to purchase Joan’s latest book, “Guide to Nonprofit Leadership: Because the World is Counting On You”, and get your book signed by Joan.

Testimonials
Not only did the training cover the full range of practical topics that a non-profit leader needs to know, but it also reaffirmed my belief that working in a non-profit is more rewarding and fulfilling than a job in any other sector.
I really enjoyed the course and have learnt a great deal. Really appreciate all the effort you have put into the course and look forward to continuing to learn and grow with your guidance.
The event was so well thought-out and organized— and it seemed to me an especially fabulous crop of candidates. Very impressive folks! Thank you on behalf of Rise — your program has really helped our organization immeasurably.
It was so helpful to hear all the information and to hear from such great speakers. I know it takes a lot of time to put these presentations together, and I just want you to know that they do make a difference and they are appreciated.
