Greater Minnesota Nonprofit Summit

In the last five years, our world has changed. We have changed. We march on, continuing to operate our organizations in a world that looks very different from four years ago and continues to evolve as the months march on. Some of our organizations are thriving, some of us are barely surviving, most of us are somewhere in between. 

As nonprofit leaders, we are continually expected to operate at new levels and in new ways with increasingly limited resources. How do we stay grounded ourselves and how do we keep our organizations grounded in our missions when the world is constantly changing? How do we stay focused on mission and everything else when the world is spinning around us? Hosted in beautiful Walker, MN on September 19, the Greater Minnesota Nonprofit Summit this year will focus on Grounding Ourselves in a Changing World. Join us as we connect, learn together, share information, and enjoy the beauty that Greater Minnesota’s lakes region has to offer.

We hope you can join us!
