Programs
A service of the Georgia Center for Nonprofits, Atlanta Nonprofit Professionals (ANP) is new and improved for 2009. ANP now offers opportunities each month for both nonprofit professionals and those planning to enter the nonprofit sector to connect and enhance their skills. ANP also opens the door to opportunities for training and leadership development through programs sponsored by the Center.
ANP sponsors two networking events each month: a networking social on third Thursdays and a career-growth event on second Mondays.
Networking socials are an excellent opportunity to meet with fellow nonprofit professionals in a fun and relaxing environment. Career-growth events focus on developing skills for jobseekers and current sector professionals and include educational programs and networking opportunities.
