*** We are thrilled to announce our 4th panel speaker: Dufferin Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones will be joining our panel.***

Please join us Tuesday Dec 7th from 9:00am to noon for a generative conversation about funding, hosted on Zoom by DC MOVES and Volunteer Dufferin. Our keynote speaker, Cathy Mann, President of The Fundraising Lab, will moderate a Funder panel discussion with Dufferin County CAO Sonya Pritchard,  Dufferin Community Foundation Founding Board Member and Grants Committee Chair MaryAnn Lowry, United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin Director, Community Engagement & Impact, Colleen Murdoch and tentatively one more panellist to be announced.  The panel discussion will be followed by break out groups to further the funding discussion, and will close with a joint dialogue between the panellists and participants.
