Why YOU Should Attend This Year’s Conference…

Each year’s conference is a unique opportunity for our community to gather, network, learn, and share. We’re really excited about this year’s conference, but if you need additional motivation, here are just a few items you will have access to at the conference and why it’s the “don’t miss” event for anyone involved with non-profits.

CONNECTIONS LEADING TO ACTION
The experience and expertise of the non-profit community is valuable to share internally, with the public, government, and the for-profit sector. At this year’s conference we will discuss how to amplify the non-profit voice, while recognizing the value and creativity of diverse voices, to create better community solutions through advocacy and partnership.

NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK!
Each year, the Center’s statewide conference attracts a broad cross-section of current and emerging leaders from a diverse array of non-profits, for-profits, government and philanthropy, and 2019 promises to be even bigger. It’s a networking opportunity like no other!

PRIORITIZING SUSTAINABILITY.
Take part in an honest dialogue about the resources we as non-profits need to do our work.  “Overhead” is NOT a dirty word.  Let’s commit to making sustainability “priority one” for the communities and constituents that need us.
