Wisconsin Nonprofits Association 2008 SUMMITJune 10, 2008Sheraton Hotel, Madison=== Online Registration is Closed ===
To Register or for Scholarship Info:
Julia or 414-221-9500
WNA’S first statewide gathering of nonprofit leaders.Who should be attending?
Attending this summit will be valuable for all leaders of Wisconsin’s nonprofit organizations; nonprofit board members, staff members and volunteers; professionals who work with nonprofits; foundation staff members and trustees, corporate and community leaders; elected and appointed officials; job seekers and career changers.
Imagine a world without nonprofits...
We are born in nonprofit hospitals, we leave our children in nonprofit child care, we are educated at nonprofit schools and universities, we discover and preserve nature through nonprofit environmental organizations, we are inspired in nonprofit museums, symphonies and theatres, we worship in nonprofit churches, synagogues and mosques and we rely on nonprofits when tragedy strikes our communities.
The nonprofit sector is like air – it is all around us, but we hardly notice it. But if it went away – what would we do? A thriving nonprofit sector means a better quality of life in Wisconsin.
The nonprofit sector faces increasing demands from boards, staff and communities to be more accountable, efficient and effective. Unlike nonprofits in 40 other states, Wisconsin’s nonprofits have had no unifying association to advance their common interests until now. Consequently, Wisconsin’s nonprofits have been, among other things:
---Fragmented into separate silos, diluting their buying power, resources and voice
---Without collective voice at the Legislature, in front of regulatory agencies and with the public
---Duplicating efforts by separately doing things that could be centralized to save time and money
---Unable to coordinate effectively to capitalize on their combined size and strengths
The time is right to manage our responsibilities and opportunities, define a strong collective voice, and develop a collaborative vision and a plan of action that builds on the strengths and effectiveness of Wisconsin nonprofits. Our state’s nonprofits are not frills, but an integral part of a healthy, artistic, vitally economic and productive state. Join us June 10, 2008 for the first annual gathering of Wisconsin's nonprofits.
