Your organization contributes to the quality of our community and to the landscape of Alabama’s economy. Few organizations have been unaffected by the changing economy, and more people are turning to you to help them through these tough times.

Keynote Speakers and Workshop Sessions will help participants understand these unprecedented challenges and help create new opportunities to imagine and change together to maintain a thriving nonprofit sector.

Educational Tracks
You asked and we responded! We’ve increased the number of workshop tracks topics to allow participants to explore critical issues and, follow a particular curriculum theme or mix-it up. From the beginner to the tenured nonprofit staff or volunteer will find sessions to build skills and expand networks.
Multiple Participant Discounts
We know budgets are tight but your organization cannot afford to miss opportunities to learn how to respond to the changing economy. That’s why we’ve deeply discounted fees for multiple participants from your organization. Cross training is an imperative and professional development has never been this affordable. So take advantage of the discounts and send a team to both days.
Ala Carte Attendance
We acknowledge that having choices for attendance to the conference is important for busy executives. That’s why we’ve brought back the ala carte registration. Ala Carte participation options are only available to active Alabama Association of Nonprofits members. Carefully consider this option because you’ll find that full conference fees are actually a better investment!
