What is this for?
EPNRC invites all nonprofits that serve the Estes Valley to meet quarterly with their peer organizations. Quarterly meetings focus on challenges, projects, and opportunities the group identifies within their own specific sector. The outcome is a support system–or accountability cohort of like-minded-mission nonprofits as they work together to create greater collective impact.
Outcome

Who Does What?
How does EPNRC support these meetings?
- Organizing and infrastructure. We facilitate; EPNRC does not program manage. For example, we will keep email lists of participants and send out meeting reminders, but we do not set goals, follow up on tasks, or solve problems.
- EPNRC will gather measurable values to inform the community and help create community action.
Your opportunities at this meeting: Check in with your cohorts. Hold each other accountable. Follow up with research or assignments that come out of the meeting. Figure out what tools you might need to further your discussions beyond the quarterly meetings at EPNRC.
