Meeting Schedule

Monthly Dialogue Before Nine (DBN) Coffee/Business Meetings

We meet at an agency location the First Wednesday of each month 8am-9am for a coffee provided by a host agency.  It is a time for our socializing, networking and discussion about issues regarding volunteer management. These meetings are as listed here in our Meeting Schedule.

Bi-Monthly Training and Networking Meetings

We meet every two months on the third Thursday of the month for two hours.  We usually have an hour of training/learning, followed by an hour for lunch and networking & discussion.  Lunch meetings are $10 for each member attending and $15 for non-members.
