CBN 2021 Community Development Family Reunion

CBN was born September 29, 2011 at a meeting of over 30 community building nonprofits from across the St. Louis area. These pioneer members were looking for ways to support each other as peers and advocate for critical issues and policy with a shared voice. Since then, CBN has grown from an informal coalition to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with over 70 members, many of whom have been at the table since that initial meeting in 2011.

Come help us celebrate the stories and company that have shaped our field's past and present and will continue building a foundation for our shared future.

Hope you can join us this fall!

Sponsorship opportunities are still available; learn more on our website here!

Our 2021 awardees will be announced soon, and were excited to be working with the talented Humans of St. Louis team again to put together photostories about the important community-building work that each honoree is doing. Watch our website for those in September.

We're also honored to be welcoming the one and only Sal Martinez, CEO of Employment Connection, as our emcee again this year!

Join the Community Builders Network of Metro St. Louis (CBN) for a Community Development Family Reunion to commemorate CBN's 10th birthday!
