Yesterday Andrew Croom and Shana Dahlin from LSCNY were guest speakers at the Neighborhoods Rising program, hosted by Mohawk Valley Community College. The class is for community members who are looking to cultivate leadership and advocacy skills and building networks to help launch their own small businesses and non-profits. Their conversation focused on what it takes to form a non-profit, and the importance of board service. Learn more about the Neighborhoods Rising program at https://lnkd.in/eCiZm6gB
