SUMMARY:"Event Planning for Nonprofits" LEARN @ UMC Workshop
DESCRIPTION:United Midcoast Charities (UMC) would like to announce its next LEARN@UMC workshop\, “Event Planning for Nonprofits”\, which will be held on Wednesday\, April 9\, from 9 am to 10:30 am at the UMC office in Camden. UMC is partnering with Kristen Winters\, former owner and creative director of Beehive Creative. Kristen brings over 13 years of experience in designing meaningful and timeless events in Maine. Known for her deep love of coastal beauty and her ability to create elegant celebrations\, Kristen collaborated with talented teams to bring her clients’ visions to life. Her expertise has been featured in various print and online publications\, showcasing her success in the wedding industry. \nIn addition to her professional achievements\, Kristen has generously shared her event planning expertise with local nonprofits through her involvement in board affiliations and community initiatives. In 2023\, she made the bittersweet decision to step away from wedding planning to focus on her family and spend more summers with her daughter. Today\, Kristen continues her work as a dedicated clinician\, supporting children\, adolescents\, adults\, and families through her roles in school-based settings and private practice. She is also an active member of the Sundog Outdoor Leadership Initiative board.

SUMMARY:LEARN @ UMC: AI For Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:United Midcoast Charities’ next installment of our LEARN@UMC workshop series will be held on Monday\, May 12th from 12noon – 1:30pm in the Jean Picker Room at the Camden Public Library. Please note due to scheduling conflicts May’s workshop will be held on a Monday\, not our typical Wednesday. We are really excited about this one! Presented by Patrick Gotham\, Vice President at CCS Fundraising\, this hands-on session will introduce nonprofit professionals to practical ways AI can enhance their daily work–from writing prompts that yield better results to integrating AI into workflows for content creation\, donor strategy\, and more.\n \nParticipants will explore key AI tools and terminology while learning how to build confidence and momentum around AI adoption within their organizations. This interactive session is designed to make artificial intelligence accessible\, actionable\, and immediately useful. Make sure to bring your lunch as this will be a brown bag session!\n \nFree for 2024 UMC grantee organizations. $20 for anyone else wishing to attend. We are expecting a great turnout for this one\, which is why we are moving it to a larger space. Please email admin@unitedmidcoastcharities.org to register. Your registration confirmation email will include a link to a google form with a couple of quick questions to gauge the audience’s comfort level with AI so Patrick can better tailor the presentation and hands-on examples to meet folks where they are – whether that’s beginner level or a bit more advanced.

SUMMARY:LEARN @ UMC: Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:We see you. \n\n\nNonprofit work is never easy\, and this year has stretched all of us. From shifting funding landscapes to increasing community needs\, the stress can be relentless—and it’s taking a toll. \n\n\nSo this month\, LEARN@UMC is doing something different. Instead of a traditional workshop\, we’re dedicating this time entirely to you. \n\n\nOn Tuesday\, June 18\, from 9:00–10:30 AM\, we invite you to use this time—however you choose—for self-care. That might mean: \n\n\n\n\n\nTaking a mindful walk outdoors\nSitting in silence with a cup of tea or coffee\nJournaling\, meditating\, or reading something inspiring\nGetting outside and gardening\nDoing absolutely nothing for 90 whole minutes\n\n\n\n\n\nWhatever feels restorative to you. The point is\, give yourself permission to pause. \n\n\nThis session is free and open to all nonprofits. Please RSVP as usual so we can track participation—and because we’d love for you to be part of what comes next. \n\n\nAfterward\, we invite you to share a quick selfie and a sentence or two about how you used the time and how it made you feel. We’ll compile your reflections into a collective resource and share it with all participants—something uplifting to remind us that we’re in this work together. \n\n\nBonus! Every reflection we receive will be entered into a drawing to win a 60-minute massage gift certificate. Because you deserve it. \n\n\nYou always show up for your community. This time\, show up for yourself. \n\n\nRSVP at unitedmidcoastcharities.org/learn-rsvp
