Laridae’s Community of Practice

Laridae’s The Pier will be a learning-based community platform for non-profit leaders. By choosing from a variety of subscription offerings, leaders can take advantage of Laridae’s vast learning resources online and on demand. There, they will connect via live webinar with industry professionals such as lawyers, human resource consultants, fundraising experts and other influential leaders in the non-profit space. In addition to these live sessions, leaders will also have access to community forums to further connect with their peers and expand their learning.

The Pier is Laridae’s plan to transition its consulting and training products to an easily accessible platform. Its intention is to build stronger engagement with clients with an automated sales cycle. This will allow the company to productize past single-use projects so they may be used to support any organization at any time. By building this new capacity, Laridae will have more time to focus on attaining larger clients while still being able to serve smaller, less-funded non profits.
