Dear friends and colleagues:

We would like to formally invite you to register your participation in this year’s Nonprofit Leadership Symposium. Consistent with our past gatherings, we promise again an informative, thought-provoking, engaging program that aims to inspire continued purposeful philanthropy with measurable impact.

We were deprived of the opportunity to meet in person last year, and as we start to turn the corner on the COVID-19 crisis, we are pleased to bring you this year a hybrid program that consists of both in-person and virtual participation options for Friday, April 22, and Saturday, April 23. Please indicate the manner in which you plan to participate during the registration process. Of course, we will understand should you need to make any changes due to unforeseen circumstances, as we will also remain flexible and adapt our programming to ensure ease of participation. In-person participation is recommended to take full advantage of the activities on Saturday, April 23.

Herewith is our current agenda. Please stay tuned for additional updates as we approach the event start date. We hope to see many of you in person or virtually on April 22 and 23.

Warm regards,

Rodney E. Slater
