Last week's CNEW Nonprofit and Small Business Fair was insightful and full of connections. April Peterson shared her approach to small business and community partnerships. Read on to learn more about her approach.
When selecting partnerships, I focus on three key factors: 1. Alignment with Mission – Does it resonate with River Rock Outfitters' core values? 2. Professional Development – Will it provide opportunities for personal and professional growth? 3. Unique Contributions – Can I bring valuable experiences or resources to benefit the partnership? With limited time and resources, it's essential to ensure that partnership goals align. Thoughtful collaborations not only benefit businesses but also support nonprofits and engage the community. By choosing wisely, we can create win-win situations that drive success and make a lasting difference! https://lnkd.in/e-iBskpK #Partnerships #CommunityEngagement #RiverRockOutfitters #BusinessGrowth

What an unforgettable Tuesday afternoon at our first-ever Next Gen lunch event!

A big thank you to Sofia de Hoyos, Senior Director of Marketing at Rappahannock Goodwill, for her invaluable insights, and to our steady and composed emcee, Kevin McCandlish of Parish Snead Franklin Simpson PLC, who kept everything on track throughout the event.
