When there is collective interest in a particular topic, LNA will coordinate a “Learning Circle.” Learning Circles bring nonprofits together to grow in a particular skill-set by learning primarily from each other through regular gatherings over a period of time and using facilitated round-table discussion and peer-to-peer sharing.

Learning Circles are hosted bi-monthly and facilitated by LNA. They are designed to create opportunities for peer-to-peer learning centered around topics that are relevant to issues that matter most to nonprofit professionals. Along with hearing about a variety of approaches to the topics being discussed, you have a chance to connect in a real way with folks who are experiencing some of the same challenges as you. We believe Learning Circles can offer real-time support, resources, and connection among LNA members. 

Current Learning Circles include:

• Executive Director – Holland/Zeeland
• Executive Director – Tri-Cities
• Fund Development
• Volunteer Coordination
