Oregon Nonprofit Leaders Conference, April 26-27, 2010

Thanks to all who made the 2010 conference another sell-out success.  Thanks to all who presented, attended and organized the event.  It is a true community effort! 

This annual two-day conference is tailored to both paid staff and volunteers, including board members. 

Our workshops and seminars are designed to help your organization survive and thrive. Because the economic downturn continues to pose severe challenges for southern Oregon nonprofits, the theme for this year’s Conference was “Up Periscope: Leading Your Organization Through Rough Waters.” We launched the Conference by hearing from John Mitchell of M&H Consultants, formerly Chief Economist of U.S. Bancorp, who helped us get a better handle on the state of the economy.

IN MEMORY OF PETER THOMAS This year the conference was dedicated to Peter Thomas who died on March 15, 2010.  Peter was the long time Development Director for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and served on the conference Steering Committee since 2006.  Peter's timely bits of wisdom contributed greatly to shaping this Conference and we will miss him greatly.

Once again, attendees had the opportunity to meet foundation representatives from across the region in our “Speed Meet with Grantmakers” sessions.
