After a wildly successful pilot program of four events last fall, CNM has begun a new initiative to help young nonprofit employees of Generations X and Y get to know each other and develop a voice for their generations in the nonprofit community and beyond. This will be a unique opportunity for participants to shape their careers, network of support, and commitment to the social sector.

Events are open to the public, but purchasing a membership gives participants a 50% discount off the price to attend. Purchasing a $60 membership means you will be registered for all twelve events (one per month) in 2010 at cost of $5 per event. Nonmembers may register to attend individual events for $10 each. This membership is on an individual basis and is exclusive of CNM's Excellence Network membership for nonprofit agencies. Membership may be purchased by visiting the "Products" page at www.cnm.org.

The first event, "Taking Charge of your Career: The Importance of Professional Development," will be held on January 26 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. This event, along with all other monthly programming, is listed on CNM's workshop calendar.
