Top 10 Reasons You Should
Attend the NFPW Conference in Chicago August 26-28

Here’s why you should be there.

10. Three days of pre-tours to see Chicago Aug. 23-25 as you have never seen it before. The true insider’s look at our city, its neighborhoods and its cultural institutions. Anyone can pay and go on the tour, but if you volunteer and become trained to be a host on tour #1, #2 or #3, you go at no charge. Hosts on other shorter tours where IWPA has to purchase tickets pay only the price of the ticket. See separate flyer in this newsletter for pre-tour details.
