Two Keynotes.
On September 30, Ann Mei Chang, CEO of Candid, will help us lean into the “Shifting Power” part of our theme with her keynote Shifting Power, Strengthening Nonprofits. The next day, October 1, we’ll hear from Ananda Leeke, Founder & Chief Mindfulness Officer at Ananda Leeke Consulting, who will move us from shifting power to opening doors with her closing keynote When You Open Doors & Shift Power, You Become a Change Agent.
