We’ve made it through the pandemic, let’s hop in our DeLorean and peek at what’s to come for nonprofits. We’re ecstatic to bring Armanino’s 11th Annual Nonprofit Symposium back to you through a live, national broadcast out of Dallas, Texas!
We believe nonprofit leaders can have a bigger impact on their communities when they are able to look forward rather than spending their time in historical data. Our purpose at Armanino is to help you become a future-focused nonprofit leader!
During this year’s symposium, nonprofit leaders and experts will join our team to discuss how to gain peace of mind and capitalize on the opportunities change brings. By integrating the right strategies, you can enable transformation and innovation to set your organization up for future sustainability, without the use of a time machine. Our keynote speaker, Trista Harris, is a passionate advocate for leaders in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors. Trista is the co-author of the book How to Become a Nonprofit Rockstar and author of FutureGood. Her discussion will hit 88 miles per hour, allowing us to see into the future and will provide valuable insights for the nonprofit community.
Let’s come together and focus on the exciting road ahead! But, where we’re going, we don’t need roads. We are excited and thankful for those of you that will join us during this future-focused event. If you’re a nonprofit CFO, Controller, VP of Finance, Accounting Manager, Certified Finance Guru or just a lover of time travel, you’re in the right place. Here’s a quick note from Jeff Owens, Partner at Armanino and our host for the day.
