AFP SOCO Lunch & Learn: Events - Keep The Mission, Cut The Chaos (Wednesday, November 04, 2026)

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 18:30:00 GMT

Nonprofit events can be powerful tools for fundraising, stewardship, and community engagement, but they also require significant investments of staff time, energy, and money. When resources are limited, how do you know an event is truly worth the investment?

Join AFP SOCO for a Lunch & Learn with Joan Selman and Madison Reed of Care and Share Food Bank for a candid and practical conversation about making nonprofit events more effective and sustainable.

This session will explore how to balance the time, expense, and effort that go into events with the outcomes you hope to achieve. Joan and Madison will share strategies for reducing unnecessary chaos, making thoughtful decisions about where to invest resources, and keeping your organization's mission—not the event itself—at the center.
