When organizations work together, they build on each other's strengths. That is where some of the most meaningful work in our sector begins, and it is the idea behind this year's theme.

Now in its third year, Empowering Nonprofits brings together nonprofit leaders, development professionals, board members, and consultants from across the region for a day of practical learning and connection. We are looking for 75-minute sessions that give practitioners something they can use right away in service of the communities they support.

Consultants and vendors are welcome to propose. We ask that sessions teach practical skills rather than promote products or services.

Submission deadline: October 23, 2026
