2025 Nonprofit Summit Program - Alabama Association of Nonprofits

WELCOME

The Alabama Association of Nonprofits (AAN) exists to champion nonprofit leaders and their organizations by way of professional development, advocacy, and management support. Our member community is at the center of all we do, and our vision is always for the nonprofit sector to move Alabama forward.

During these two days together, we will sharpen our advocacy skills, find new tools for operational improvement, and share best practices as we build relationships within our network. All of this provides the fuel needed to have a greater collective impact and to unite our voices. We are living in a time of great change, and during times like this, I turn to my community for help. Let the Alabama Association of Nonprofits be one of your trusted communities as we navigate the challenges ahead. We are truly stronger together.

For a better Alabama,

Danielle A. Dunbar
Executive Director
Alabama Association of Nonprofits
