What are attendees most excited for at the SPRE Summit?

As a non-profit leader and operator of a non-profit services center, the SPRE Summit will provide me an opportunity to learn from industry leaders and be exposed to the innovative work happening across the country and in Canada.

Jimiyu Evans

Co-CEO, Project Community Connections, Inc.

I am really looking forward to learning more about the new innovations and ideas that have come out of nonprofit centers and community space development these past couple of years. Connecting with my peers at CSN events is always a motivating and energizing opportunity.

Alice Wagner

Operations Manager, Tides Converge

Thrilled for CSN to bring back its conference for community commercial real estate and nonprofit shared space. Excited to see old friends and meet new community leaders working on social purpose real estate.

Saul Ettlin

Senior Advisor, Community Vision Capital & Consulting

Sharing experiences with other people who operate and support community spaces. I learn so much from talking with others who do what we do at Serve Denton. We all have successes and failures, and sharing those experiences helps everyone get a little better.

Pat Smith

Chief Executive Office, Serve Denton

I will be in the company of change makers for better communities. Learning what has worked and what hasn’t, will help better service my clients. I can be better informed when investigating appropriate sites suitable to the organization.
