Conference to give nonprofits ideas
Hundreds of attendees in the
nonprofit sector will be on hand
to hear from experts and network
during the ninth annual Investors
Bank Not-For-Profit Conference on
Long Island next month.
Titled “How To Manage In
Turbulent Times,” the event will
feature Keynote Speaker Ed Henry,
President And CEO of the Doris
Duke Charitable Foundation, who
will discuss competitive pressures
and a global economy.
“Providing resources for nonprofit
organizations is a large part
of who we are as a bank,” says
Jennifer Smith, the Community
Development Officer at Investors
Bank. “The conference is an
opportunity for us to reach out to
community organizations within
the bank’s footprint in New York
and New Jersey and help with
networking opportunities and
access to experts in fundraising,
development and nonprofit tax law.”
The goal for this year’s Investors’
Bank Conference is to motivate and
inspire not-for-profit professionals
as they work together to help their
clients amid the continuing trend
of increased demand and decreased
donations that makes their work so
difficult and critical.
“The conferences have both
grown in size and the programs
have evolved as well,” Smith says.
“Raising funds just gets harder
every year. Social media has
also dramatically changed how
nonprofits reach out to potential
volunteers and donors. We’ve tried
to incorporate these changes into
our programming.”
The speakers will provide guidance
and case studies on how nonprofits
can think strategically about what
is central to achieving their vision.
“We want to thank the Long Island
Press and Queens Courier, as well as
the Queens Chamber of Commerce,
for your help with planning this
free resource for nonprofits in Long
Island and Queens.”
