NCLR Affiliates Meet in Philadelphia for 2014 Peer Exchange
This week, members of the NCLR Affiliate Network gathered in Philadelphia for the 2014 NCLR Affiliate Peer Exchange. For two days, Affiliates reconnected with others from around the country and re-discovered the array of skills to be found within our network of 300 community-based organizations.
This year, participants focused on how to grow and nurture a data-driven culture in their organizations. Case studies were presented and they heard from experts in the field, all in the name of growing the impact of Latino nonprofits.
The two-day meeting ended today. Below are some highlights from the event.
The Peer Exchange began with a tour of Philadelphia’s famed mural arts scene.The focus was on Latino mural arts.
To the #NCLRPX Latino leaders in Philadelphia, have a great meeting today and tomorrow! @Congreso1977
