WHAT OUR ATTENDEES SAY

“When I first saw the NELO time commitment, I wondered whether it would be a good investment of my time. As we know, all new United Way CEOs are drinking from a fire hose within a constantly changing landscape. But I took a chance, and I’m glad I did. I found NELO to be filled with valuable information and insights, and met and learned from my fellow CEOs. If you are a new CEO, I encourage you to make this investment of time. Don’t miss out on this opportunity.”
