For assistance signing up for a network, contact Kathy Meehan, NAYDO Database Specialist


When you activate your NAYDO Membership benefits for the Membership Year September 2022-August 2023, you have
the opportunity to sign up for one or more of NAYDO's 10 networks: 

• Staff New to Leading YMCA Development

• VIP (Volunteers in Philanthropy) Board Members/Fundraising Volunteers

Note to International Members/Conference Attendees: International Attendees are in a Philanthropy Alliance group. Learn more here.

Network Activities During Conference

Network members registered for the conference will have additional opportunities.
At the conference, each network will have a virtual pre-conference get-acquainted session, an in-person reception on Tuesday that includes a 15-minute orientation component, and each network choosing its own format for a final day session at NAYDO 2023.
 

​Network Activities Year-Round

For the September 2022–August 2023 NAYDO year, each network has a minimum of 2 virtual events - one in the fall and one in the winter. As they are finalized, year-round activities will be posted under the specific network and on the homepage calendar. Contact the Network leaders listed for more information.
