Many hard-working and well-intentioned folks, particularly in Greater Philadelphia, have come up with a strong vision for what they believe can help, lift or transform people and communities.

Achieving that big vision is another story altogether. That's why three of the region's most dynamic and influential non-profit leaders are teaming up for a panel this week.

Sister Mary Scullion of Project Home, Jane Golden of the Mural Arts Program and Jill Michal of the United Way of Southeastern PA will discuss how they implemented their successful plans in Non-Profits: Achieving a Big Vision, A Discussion By Three Leaders Who Have Done It.

The event will be held Thursday morning at Philadelphia Country Club. Breakfast starts at 7:30 and the panel discussion is set for 8-9. It's part of the Non-Profit Professional Organization Series and will be moderated by Richard Binswanger, principal of the ClearView Group, a high-powered management and technology consultancy for small- to mid-sized organiatons.

A donation of $20 is suggested and proceeds will be donated to the panelists' organizations. Seating is limited, so rsvp to Sam Monastra by email or phone (267-419-2250).
