In her article Fund Raisers Find Mix of Personal and Professional Support at Local Round Tables from Chronicle of Philanthropy, Caroline Preston describes how fundraising professionals in the Baltimore area have come together for sharing — both personally and professionally.  Nonprofit “roundtables” are a place where discussion can range from how to evaluate a fundraising program to how to support a friend who has been laid off from a position.  I liken this concept to the party conversation that occurs in the kitchen — informal and meaningful.  And, fundraising professionals are not the only ones to “roundtable” in the DC area, the Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington has been meeting for many years.
