At the inaugural Nod to Nonprofits Trade Show & Seminar, the Chamber introduced its newest initiative, the "Nod to Nonprofits" Tour Series. Beginning in 2017, this initiative is designed to spread awareness about our local nonprofits and highlight at least 12 organizations each year that are impacting our community in positive ways.
