Salt Lake City Forum

Description

Join representatives from Salt Lake City, with Tony Milner, Director, Housing Stability Division at Salt Lake City Corporation, Utah Nonprofits Association, and other SLC nonprofits for an afternoon of ideas, collaboration, partnership, and more.

The Salt Lake City Nonprofit Forum brings together stakeholders from nonprofits and the city to forge relationships, collaborate, and find new ways to solve problems and elevate our communities. Our goal is to build a true community working in concert to make our lives, city, and world better. And all of that starts with meaningful conversation.

Overview

The Forum begins with a welcome from official representative of Salt Lake City, Tony Milner, who serves as Director of the Housing Stability Division at Salt Lake City Corporation. Although you'll be welcomed by Tony Milner, nonprofits from all cause areas attend to break down barriers and find new partners in this important work. The event will feature two rounds of collaborative conversations. You'll join nonprofit professionals and City staff members at a table focused on your cause area. Each person at the table will share a micro-presentation that identifies their most pressing problems and ways that they can contribute. Following the presentations, you'll break into smaller groups to form deeper relationships and identify potential opportunities to work together. After a brief break, you'll find a new table to begin the second round of collaborations as you connect with new people in your next table group.

The Forum will bring like-minded people together to spark ideas and connections, but the real impact happens when these relationships ignite transformative ideas.
