PUBLIC POLICY TOWN
HALL
With the Legislature and Congress just having wrapped up
their business for the year and all levels of government facing
massive deficits, not to mention a November ballot looming with
complex and confusing proposals, what better time for CAN to
convene a Town Hall meeting at the annual conference. Ken
Larsen, CAN Director of Public Policy, will field questions from
the audience and try to make sense for everyone of what is going
on in Sacramento and Washington that is of primary
concern to nonprofit organizations. This is an opportunity for
YOU to be heard and be part of the
discussion.
(The Public Policy Town Hall replaces the
previously announced Hot Topics Study Group Hour.) |
Conference
Highlights
Join more than
300 executive directors and other professional staff, board
members, fundraisers, program officers, consultants, volunteers
and students will gather to network, gain valuable tools and
build momentum to continue their important work for our
communities.
