Still time to register: Network Like a Gardener: Cultivating Connections That Thrive (via Zoom from 2:00 pm -3:30 pm)

Register asap: https://guilfordnonprofits.org/event-calendar/ #!event/2026/9/29/network-like-a-gardener-cultivating-connections-that-thrive-for-community-engagement-professionals

Strong networks don’t happen by accident. Like a thriving garden, they require thoughtful planning, consistent care, and the right systems to help people grow and flourish.

In this interactive session, nonprofit community engagement professionals will explore practical strategies for building and managing networks that create value for both individuals and the organizations we serve. Participants will learn how to move beyond simply collecting contacts to intentionally cultivating meaningful relationships, fostering engagement, and creating sustainable communities of support.

Through real-world examples and actionable tools, we'll examine how to design systems that nurture connections, encourage participation, and strengthen organizational impact without overwhelming staff or volunteers. Whether you're managing advocates, volunteers, partners, alumni, or community members, you'll leave with fresh ideas and a practical framework for helping your network take root, grow, and thrive.

Because when we network like gardeners, we don't just grow our lists. We grow a stronger Guilford County.

Facilitated by staff from Guilford County Partnership for Children + Guilford Nonprofit Consortium + Triad Goodwill

Did someone say free child care? Here’s a chance to flex your civic skills without barriers. Join us to talk education at the Candidates Forum with Action Greensboro at The Pyrle

Parents: education is on the ballot. 🗳️

Decisions that affect our schools happen at more than one level. State legislators shape education policy and funding. County Commissioners make important local funding decisions. And the Board of Education helps lead GCS.

That’s why it’s important to know who you’re voting for and how they approach the issues that matter to families.

Join us Tuesday, October 13 at The Pyrle in downtown Greensboro to hear directly from candidates for the NC General Assembly, Guilford County Board of Commissioners and Guilford County Board of Education.

Come curious. Leave better prepared to vote.

Need childcare to attend? Politisit will help cover childcare costs for your time at the forum.

And bonus: you get to spend the evening at a fun downtown Greensboro venue!

Free registration requested. Link in bio!
