NONPROFIT CONFERENCE PREVIEW
ART OF THRIVING
Investors Bank, in association with
the Long Island Press and Schneps
Media, will present its annual Art of
Thriving Not-for-Profit Conference
for Queens and Long Island nonprofit
organizations this month.
Attendees will have the opportunity
to network with colleagues who
represent a broad mix of nonprofit
organizations that serve on the
local, regional, and national levels.
Leaders, professional staff, and volunteers
from the nonprofit community
in Nassau and Suffolk counties
as well as New York City are invited
to attend.
The conference will be on Tuesday,
Sept. 10, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the
Inn at New Hyde Park, located at 214
Jericho Turnpike in New Hyde Park.
The event will begin with a catered
breakfast and networking, followed
by opening remarks from Investors
Bank Chairman and CEO Kevin
Cummings. The keynote address is
scheduled for 10 a.m., with Executive
Chairman Eric J. Gertler of U.S. News
& World Report, as the conference’s
featured speaker. Gertler serves as a
trustee of both the Zuckerman Family
Foundation and the Zuckerman Mind
Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia
University.
Gertler will focus on the value that
not-for-profits may derive by building
stronger relationships with
the traditional, digital and social
media platforms. Ultimately, these
relationships can create greater
awareness of an organization’s mission
and its achievements and foster
a wide range of new connections and
alliances.
A panel discussion will follow the
keynote address, led by Investors
Bank Vice President Gilbert Ricotta,
an expert at helping not-for-profits
secure financing for their operations,
as the moderator.
A team from the Investors Foundation
is also participating in the conference.
The foundation is marking
its 15th anniversary in 2019, and the
organization has provided over $30
million in grants to nonprofits since
its founding.
Admission is free, however pre-registration
is required as seating is
limited. To register online, visit
