Regional Connects

The Regional Connects program provides networking opportunities for nonprofit fundraisers in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. These monthly virtual and in-person gatherings enable development professionals to get to know their peers and develop their professional networks. Participants do not need to be members of AFP-NNE; all are welcome!
