Dine-Around Discussion Dinners

What is a 'dine-around discussion dinner'?

These dinners are an opportunity for informal discussion and networking in groups of 10-40 professionals with shared interests. These meals will be catered by local restaurants, and hosted by nonprofits at their facilities within the Mt. Crested Butte and Crested Butte communities.

Attendees at past Rural Philanthropy Days in other regions found these events to be among the highlights of their RPD experience. Due to space limits in each facility, some specific dinners may be sold out by the time you go to sign up -- register early!

Information about specific locations and proposed discussion questions coming soon.
