A regional summit is planned to assist nonprofit organizations in Western Colorado.

The summit is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 19 at the Colorado Mountain College campus in Rifle.

“We will provide the tools and resources that nonprofit staff can use in real time,” said Jeff Corn, chairman of the Western Slope Regional Leadership Committee and an employee with Eagle County Public Health and Environment. “Attendees will walk out of this event with new and valuable approaches to today’s challenges in the Colorado nonprofit sector.”

Community Resource Center, an organization that brings together nonprofits across Colorado, will host the summit.

The event will offer representatives from nonprofits in Mesa County and other Western Slope counties an opportunity to hear from and connect with nonprofit and foundation leaders and learn about resources to support their missions. Workshops will cover such topics as collaboration, resource development and sharing and staff retention.

Performance artist Merrily Talbott will involve participants in interactive exercises designed to enhance focus and encourage participation. Snacks and meals will be provided.
