Forefront was thrilled to host a free networking event in Bloomington, Ill. in June for our central Illinois colleagues. Attendees enjoyed refreshments, and networking opportunities, while also engaging with Forefront team members and fellow social impact professionals.

Attendees watch a pre-recorded greeting from Forefront President and CEO, Monique B. Jones.

Attendees had the opportunity to learn about Forefront’s statewide programs and services from our Manager of Membership and Member Relations, Doris Bowens. Several other team members joined Bowens including: Dawn Ademokunwa, Chief Advancement Officer; Holly Ambeuhl, Senior Director of Policy and Government Affairs; Dilane Mitchell, Director of Communications and Marketing; and T.C. Bastin, Manager of Funder Relations. Even CEO Monique B. Jones, joined via video!

Special thanks to our colleagues at the Illinois Soybean Association for sharing their work and their beautiful meeting space.

This event is a reflection of Forefront’s continued commitment to building and engaging a vibrant social impact sector for all the people of Illinois.

Please visit our events calendar and sign us for an upcoming program in the future!
