Nonprofit Council: Making a Difference in Shenandoah County

Mission: To promote the sustainability and growth of the nonprofit organizations and strengthen their role in our community.  This committee provides networking opportunities, educational presentations and speakers, sharing of resources, and advocacy. 

The Council provides a forum for Not-for-Profit organizations to discuss the unique needs of their industry, and to build relationships within the Shenandoah County business communities, increasing access to potential volunteers and donors.  Activities of the Council include:

• Create networking and raise visibility opportunities
• Enrich the community through Not-for-Profit resources and services
• Advocate on behalf of Not-for-Profits before the local government
• Provide an outlet for volunteer information and opportunities
• Integrate Not-for-Profit organizations into the mainstream activities of the Chamber

The Council typically meets the 2nd Thursday, monthly from 12:00-1:00pm at Chamber Office; check the online calendar for the latest meeting schedule. For more information on the Nonprofit Council, contact Chair Sheila Orndorff or the Chamber President at 540-459-2542.
