This week I’m gonna be in Denver for two must-attend conferences for young nonprofit leaders. (Will I see you? ROLL CALL!!!) I’ll be working closely with (full disclosure: they are paying me) the Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP), who will be hosting their 2010 National Conference on April 23-25, prior to the Council on Foundations 61stAnnual Conference in Denver, Colorado. The theme for this year’s conference,“Building a Movement, Making an Impact” marks the first time that EPIP has partnered with the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network to bring together over two hundred young nonprofit and foundation workers for an unprecedented joint learning opportunity. “During a time of rapid generational shifts in the workforce and governance of foundations and nonprofits, we are excited to fulfill our commitment to developing the next generation of leaders in philanthropy,” said Rusty Stahl, Executive Director of EPIP.
The EPIP National Conference will feature diverse, multi-generational speakers, ranging from foundation Program Associates to CEOs. NAACP President Ben Jealous – at 37, the youngest NAACP president in its history – will give the keynote address. I’m excited to be live blogging EPIP’s sessions with a fab team of young nonprofit and philanthropy bloggers including:
- Rosetta Thurman (nonprofit leader & consultant)
- Allison Jones (nonprofit leader)
- Trista Harris (foundation professional)
- Annah Sidigu (foundation professional)
- Check the EPIP blog, Ephiphanies, for daily roundups of all of our blog posts!
And guess what y’all? The good folks at EPIP are offering your FREE transportation to their National Conference this weekend! Virtually, that is. The stellar line-up features amazing speakers and cutting-edge workshops focused on foundation effectiveness, generational change, and social justice philanthropy. Even better – you don’t even have to leave your laptop!
