The SVCN Membership Meeting is this Wednesday! Join us for 2021 priorities and honoring Wendy Ho! To clarify, this meeting is a nonprofit members-only meeting (just one of the benefits of being an SVCN member!), but we do want to invite everyone to celebrate Wendy at 4:45pm. Sorry for any confusion! REGISTER TO ATTEND --> https://www.svcn.org/...

Given that knowledge, the Silicon Valley nonprofit community has a special obligation to make a public, united commitment to support equity, justice..., inclusion, and the opportunity to thrive, for all.
