Cambridge Nonprofit Coalition Subcommittees
Subcommittees are an integral part of our work. They are open to executive directors, staff and volunteers from CNC member organizations and non-member organizations. Standing subcommittees are involved in CNC governance, decision making practices and policies, finance, fundraising and event planning. Issued-based subcommittees are made up of organizations with similar missions, to provide support, advice, and resources to one another and identify opportunities to build a collective voice and collaborate.
