The Alliance
Alliance geared toward organization leadership. These virtual meetings connect nonprofits, government and other Lake County leaders together leading to more coordinated health, human, and education resources and a stronger safety net. Members expand their knowledge and grow their networks. Every month the Alliance’s hybrid and virtual meetings connect members to one another and serve as a vehicle to share resources and events. Often there are speakers who provide information about the organizations they represent and provide tools to support Lake County residents in need.
