In addition to Spokes’ monthly ED/CEO Roundtables held on Zoom, we are introducing a new quarterly, in-person roundtable series designed to offer deeper connection, shared learning, and peer support. This first in-person session will include lunch, a short facilitated program, and guided discussion. Full-time, paid CEOs and Executive Directors of San Luis Obispo County nonprofits are welcome.

People & Culture expert Kellie Conn of will share practical strategies for supporting staff morale amid today’s challenges—from funding uncertainty to broader climate-related stressors—followed by a live Q&A and organic peer discussion. Participants will learn to recognize early warning signs of declining morale, understand how ongoing uncertainty impacts teams, and gain tools to build trust, foster transparency, and support staff through high-stress periods.
