💥 It's time for #FridayShoutOut​s -- and WOW do I have a number of shoutouts to give this week! Every Friday we take time to reflect and shout out another community member who helped out or deserves some gratitude and thanks.

I want to give a #FridayShoutOut​ to @Emma B-F​ @Rachel Park​ @Jessica Murphy​ @Marisa Lopez​ for an AMAZING session yesterday in Nonprofit Dreamin' in the How to Advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Ecosystem session (and if I'm missing anyone else from that please add them here too!). Your vulnerability, your stories, your conversation, all of it was so inspiring, and just thank you for continuing to have these conversations! Way to lead by example💪

I am just SO impressed by the sessions I joined and the overall event, @Melissa Hill Dees​ @Paul Ginsberg NIQ​ @Akash Mishra​ @Dar Veverka​ @Michael Kolodner​ @Aaron Crosman​ @Charise Van Liew​ @Doug Contaoi​ @Farah Charania​ @Gurleen Singh​ @Grace Kim​ @Hayley Tuller​ @Irina Rodina​ @Justin Barss​ @Jyothi Dontha​ @Mark Palmucci​ @Martin Humpolec​ @Rob O'Brien​ @Sandra Prieto​ @Skye Tyler​ and everyone involved... seriously, this is a major milestone for the nonprofit community, so THANK YOU for your effort, initiative, and HEART that was put into this event.

On that note, please note that Friday #Coffee Chat​ (normally every Friday) is CANCELLED today -- instead, we encourage everyone to attend Nonprofit Dreamin!
