Funny as it may seem, this event took place in Queens, in Citibank’s Long Island City building to be exact. There were classes provided during two breakout sessions. It was one of several recent trainings sponsored by Citibank. Consultants from the Nonprofit Connection, a technical service provider based in Brooklyn, led the training sessions. I attended two workshops. One was on community needs assessment. The other was on branding. Afterwards there was lunch and Manhattan Borough President Virginia Fields showed up late.
