Thank you to all who attended our Eighth Annual Nonprofit Institute Conference on February 22. We had over 150 participants with options of attending 15 different break-out sessions, a wonderful lunch, and an inspirational panel discussion with six highly-qualified and experienced leaders in the Southern Maryland nonprofit community. Without your attendance and support, the conference would not have been a success. Thank you!
A special thanks to our break-out session leads:
Jonna Jones, Michelle Sullivan, Linda Howard, Bob Carpenter, Jennifer Bevan-Dangel, Chris Ripley, Anna Tatro, Vicki and Dusty Rhoades, Bill Hitte, Carmen Phelps, Talisha Dunn-Square, Nancy Hall, and Mike Bellis.
And an extra special thanks to our “Tedinstead” Talks panelists:
Theresa Johnson and Lynette Entzian from CalvertHealth Foundation; Bonnie Green and Gene Townsend from The Patuxent Partnership; and Sandy Washington and Earle Knapp from Lifestyles of Maryland.
The entire NPI Team truly appreciates your time, participation, and talents and your strong support of the NPI mission. Thank you.
