A Free Webinar on Real Estate for Nonprofits

Join us for a conversation on navigating your real property lease with L. Danielle Cylich, President of the Neighborhood Preservation Center, and Craig S. Ruoff, Executive Vice President at Colliers.

Takeaways

Strategy and structure for real estate decisions for nonprofits: The physical spaces in which we deliver client services sets the tone for a business, both for participants and for staff. With rising utility costs, transitions to remote work and other shifts in the marketplace, organizations are taking a harder look at their real property costs including leases.

Join us for this short morning conversation.
