The Chamber is following the guidance of the CDC and Tompkins County Health Department. Out of an abundance of caution, we ask that all attendees please wear a mask/face covering, regardless of vaccination status, to BAH. Thank you for working together to keep our community safe.
This event is not exclusively for folks within the Not for Profit industry. We are looking to have a diverse cross-section of all of our members, and can answer any questions about the event or the series at your request. Our goal is to provide an interactive space where attendees both within and outside of the education industry can get to know each other and walk away with actionable industry insights.
