We’re thrilled to announce that Georgia Fort will headline this year’s Annual Conference with a keynote that will challenge, inspire, and leave you thinking differently about this year’s theme, Truth Be Told: Stories, Power, and the Future We Build.

Georgia is a three-time Midwest Emmy Award-winning journalist, 2025 Bush Fellow, and founder of BLCK Press whose reporting has placed her at the center of national conversations about press freedom. Her mission as a journalist is to change the narrative by amplifying truth, elevating diverse sources, and providing context around social justice issues.

Day 1 Keynote speaker for MCN's 2026 Annual Conference, Georgia Fort.

Don’t miss your chance to hear one of the most anticipated speakers of the conference, and be part of the conversations that will shape what’s next for Minnesota’s nonprofit community.

Stay tuned for Day 2 Keynote announcement, coming soon.
