“Over 100 people participated in the first annual Florida Keys Nonprofit Day. The feedback was excellent; however, the nonprofit professionals all said they want to spend more time networking with one another,” said Jennifer McComb from the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys. McComb said that in response they have added an additional networking session, “Speed Dating for Nonprofits” before the speakers, in addition to the end-of-day reception sponsored by First State Bank of the Florida Keys.
