Keynote Presentation

The Nonprofit Sector in 2022: Our Light and Our Shadows

Join Anne in a candid conversation about national and state trends and issues in the nonprofit community – including but not limited to financial stability, funding support, and the recruitment and retention of our own workforce. These trends have something to tell us, and may just lead us to what we can do – individually and collectively – in response to lessons learned.
