A man stands at the front of a meeting room, gesturing toward a large whiteboard covered with a hand-drawn table and headings such as “Phone call,” “TY card,” “Welcome pack,” and “TY email.” He is holding a marker and appears to be explaining the chart to a small group seated around a table with notebooks, coffee cups, plates, and snack packaging visible in the foreground.
It’s always a fantastic Friday afternoon when I get the chance to connect with my peers in non-profit marketing to talk about hot topics in our industry in the Fraser Valley. 💬 #nonprofitmarketing #nonprofitfundraising #charitabledonations

Such a great afternoon stopping by Ruth's Coffee opening day in support of Ruth & Naomi’s Mission! ☕🤍
