3 special guests to attend FLiP event!

I promise we'll be back to normal posting later this week, this is our last event promo this week!

In addition to speaker Sharna Goldseker - Vice President at the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies – FLiP has invited three additional special guests to our next event.

Why? Well, here’s what we were thinking: For the first two events, a very ambitious and engaged group of FLiPs showed up. We want to keep you all engaged and coming back for more, so we invited some people a little further along in their careers to offer some perspective, advice, and guidance.

They have agreed to come to the Black Sheep (583 3rd Avenue at 38th Street – 2nd Floor) on November 14 from 6:00 to 8:00, hang out, listen to Sharna's remarks, and meet some FLiPs.

So, without further ado, here are FLiPs first-ever special guests (when you see them on the 14th, be sure to say hello!):

1) Teresa Vazquez – Vice President of the Not-for-Profit Desk at the NYC Economic Development Corporation.

Specifically she is responsible for addressing individual nonprofit needs by serving as an information clearinghouse; providing real estate guidance; connecting nonprofits to business and financial resources and attracting new nonprofits to New York City.

2) Steve Sagner - Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni Relations at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
