SUMMARY:Minnesota Council of Nonprofits 2016 Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Thursday October 6th and Friday October 7th: Duluth Entertainment Convention Center \nListen. Learn. Lead.\nListen. In the face of change\, we must slow down before rushing ahead. As Minnesota’s nonprofit sector\, we must pause\, reflect and listen. Listen to the communities who have not traditionally been heard. Listen to the people on the ground working to build strong communities. Listen to the good things as well as the critical. Listen to our intuition and best practices. Then listen for the oversights and the new voices. We must step back to move forward. \nLearn. As a sector\, we must continue to learn from one another and ourselves. Be willing to acknowledge our mistakes and knowledge gaps. Learn from the young\, the old\, our closest allies and the allies whom we have yet to meet. Change is constant. We must always aspire to learn. \nLead. Lead not through titles or privilege or power – but through grace and wisdom and humility. We must lead ourselves before leading others. Lead to a place where more of us can live the lives that we wish to live. \nJoin the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits for our 2016 Annual Conference. Hosted in Duluth\, MN\, this year’s gathering is the perfect opportunity for professionals from every corner of Minnesota’s robust nonprofit sector to join together\, celebrate the sector\, learn from one another and prepare for another year. \nCome by and visit Greater Giving \nAt our table in the MCN Annual Conference\, we’ll demonstrate Greater Giving Online Bidding and Go Time\, and you’ll learn about the latest fundraising trends from 2016. We will also have Auction Planners\, Best Practices for Mobile Bidding Events\, and enter to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
