Each weekday from August 17-21, DANA – Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement will bring together philanthropy, business, government, nonprofit leaders and staff from across the region in a virtual format to engage and learn about emerging from a crisis stronger and more resilient through building collaboratives and leveraging challenging times into transformative opportunities for social change. Hosted by DANA, Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement, conference participants will learn from two nationally-recognized authors and speakers, Leslie Crutchfield and Tom Sheridan, as well as three breakout session speakers, and a moderated panel of local Philanthropy leaders.

In addition to learning from these influential change makers, conference attendees will be able to choose from three smaller-group virtual breakout sessions to dive deeper into the concepts presented – breakout session topics and speakers can be found on the DANA website at https://delawarenonprofit.org/2020-impact-delaware-conference/
