CSHA Convos are intended to be a safe place where some of the most-needed conversations can happen … a place for insights, knowledge and awareness. CSHA hopes to elevate the unique and upcoming voices in the field, creating the opportunity for learning from the lived experiences of professionals who are navigating through these challenging times.

CSHA Convos are live events (they will not be recorded) and are available to the entire community at no charge.

These sessions were developed by a CSHA working group consisting of Raquel Narain, CSHA board chair; Anna Vagin, chair of the Content Advisory Committee; Amalia Hernandez, chair of the Board Diversity & Inclusion Committee; and CSHA member Katie Gore. The team has identified a robust series of participants.

Featuring panelists from across the CSHA community, each conversation will be lightly moderated and include audience Q&A for an interactive discussion. In addition, a CSHA representative will be present at each conversation to respond to audience questions and ensure feedback informs the association’s ongoing continuous improvement agenda.

Panelists will be announced soon.

The last CSHA Convo of 2020 will reflect on learnings from the four prior discussions and explore CSHA’s role in creating and supporting change. Significant efforts by the association over the last few years to embrace evidence-based nonprofit best practices have created the space and structure for continued improvement.
