PANEL DISCUSSION WITH WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN, HERITAGE RADIO NETWORK, AND CHARLESTON WINE + FOOD

Wednesday, March 31

10:00 AM EST

Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic many organizations have turned inward to reflect on how they must adapt, pivot, and evolve to maintain existence in today’s society. For nonprofit organizations this reflection can cause somewhat of an identity crisis. How can nonprofit organizations grow + evolve while staying true to the mission of their organizations? 

Join us for a round-table discussion as World Central Kitchen, Heritage Radio Network, and Charleston Wine + Food explore the growth of program services + shifts, the reframing of mission-based work, and even the birth of new nonprofit organizations as prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

PANELISTS
