Denver Leadership Institute to focus on shared spaces

Denver Shared Spaces and the Nonprofit Centers Network are teaming up to host the Denver Leadership Institute, a two-day program that will bring teams from municipalities across the United States and Canada to focus on developing collaborative public/private partnerships that foster a vibrant community of innovative shared space centers.

The goal is to bring teams from 15 cities with representation from the government, philanthropic and nonprofit sectors to learn from Denver Shared Spaces' partnership model and engage in peer-to-peer exchange. 

"This will give us an opportunity to highlight the incredible partnerships and collaborations happening locally, learn from attendees about the work in their communities and share tools to help other municipalities replicate our approach," says Megan Devenport, project coordinator.

The Denver Leadership Institute on Shared Space is a pilot program designed to respond to requests from the Nonprofit Centers Network membership. The network, which recently relocated to Denver, is a learning community dedicated to creating and managing shared nonprofit workspace, administrative services, technology and programs. 

The workshop will be held Oct. 8-9 at The Alliance Center at 1536 Wynkoop. The Alliance Center is  a multi-tenant center where people and organizations are focused on sustainability. To register, visit www.nonprofitcenters.org/events or call (720) 836-1189.
