There has never been a time when the value of the nonprofit sector was so clearly demonstrated than during the pandemic. Nonprofits raised "pivoting" to an art form, brought unique insights to planning processes, and stepped up in ways like vaccine access where even governments struggled. That heavy lifting showed a new way of working, but it also took a toll.
Come hear from frontline leaders in these fields as they assess the options, and join in the discussion of the key policy that shape those options, in 2022 and beyond.
