“This symposium is really important because it shines a spotlight on nonprofits and the needs that they have… and the fact that the business community and our elected officials are coming together to help Nevada’s nonprofit community, because they do so much for the community,” said Mary Beth Seewald, president and CEO of the Vegas Chamber.
