ELEVATE 2022 | NonProfit Leadership Alliance | 23 February 2022 | Virtual event

Now celebrating its eighth year, Elevate is a three–day virtual conference experience that contains key content on how to manage change in times of uncertainty. Attendees will be able to engage with fellow social impact professionals from across the country while attending on-demand and live sessions.

Our communities are recovering from the pandemic, social tensions and uncertainty. More than 700,000 nonprofit jobs were lost and thousands of organizations will never reopen. The nonprofit sector must evolve if it’s going to address these challenges. Our past “normal” isn’t good enough. Join us at Elevate 2022 to reflect on what we’ve learned so we can rebuild a world better than it was before.
