Upcoming Nonprofit Network Sessions:
December 4th Holiday Social Hour
Join us on Wednesday, December 4th at the Cooper House (1801 Austin Ave.) from 4:00 – 6:00 pm for a casual evening of networking with other nonprofit professionals!
December 19th Nonprofit Network Session: Harassment: It’s Not What You Think
- Date: Thursday, December 19
- Time: 9:00 – 11:00 am (Please note, the presentation is from 9:30-11:00 am and the remaining time is for networking.)
- Location: Texas Life Annex (1000 Washington Avenue)
- Description: At the December session, Attorneys Cris Houston and David Schleicher, will do some harassment myth-busting. We will learn when harassment is illegal even though not sexual in nature, when it’s not illegal, and what kind of harassment pierces protections managers used to have from being sued.
- Presenters:
- Crisarla Houston is a Harvard law school graduate who has also taught law school classes, served as the Compliance and Equity Officer for one of Waco’s largest nonprofits, and is currently the CEO of a local nonprofit that helps disadvantaged small businesses obtain loans.
- David Schleicher is a former president of the Waco School Board and has among his non-profit clients Waco Habitat, Communities in Schools, Waco Family Medicine, Hispanic Leaders Network, the Farmer Veteran Coalition, and The Australian Shepherd Club of America.
