In 2018, the Texas Nonprofit Summit Series came to Southeast Texas to equip and support nonprofits still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Harvey.

The first Summit, held in Beaumont in January, and thematically related to 2017 Summit events, featured a keynote address by Scott McClelland, President of H-E-B Food/Drug, multiple breakout sessions and networking opportunities for nonprofit employees, board members and volunteers.

In November, events were held in Orange and Port Authur and provided community leaders in Southeast Texas the opportunity to connect, explore available resources, and learn from top nonprofit experts. Events featured a keynote address by executive coach Francisco Gonima and sessions covering the nonprofit effectiveness framework, board member recruitment & engagement, strategic planning, and technology. Event partners included Southeast Texas Nonprofit Development Center, United Way of Orange County, and United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County.
