What’s the most interesting effort your circle is focusing on right now?

We're taking a strategic look at our calendar - moving the grant application window earlier to allow for more committee review. Our board is also discussing a shift of membership calendar to be aligned with our "Big Give" award event. (Our membership currently closes Dec. 31st with the award event late May. The shift would consider membership closing in April with the event in May).

What is something your circle is currently challenged by?

Brand building and communication - we're constantly working to find the right communication cadence for both members and prospects. There are 3 Impact groups in our region - which is awesome, but can be a challenge for women to understand the differentiators of each group.

What Philanos resource has been most helpful to you this year, and why?

We're new to Philanos, but have found the online resources and the connection to a large network of like-minded organizations to be wonderful.
