Tuesday September 10, 2019 - The Inn At New Hyde Park
Sponsored by Investors Bank 

Investors Bank wants your organization to thrive, but we know that isn't always an easy task to manage. The goal for this year's Investors Bank Conference is optimizing your not-for-profit organization.  We will discuss time-tested methods of achieving long-term success with your Not-for-Profit organization, and empower Not-for-Profit professionals and Board Members as they work together to accomplish their missions in our strenuous political climate. The speakers will provide guidance and case studies on how Not-for-Profits can think strategically about the most important elements of successful not-for-profit management: staying true to your mission, demonstrating program impact through metrics, efficient operation and effective fundraising.
 
Our Long Island/Queens Art of Thriving conference is free to attend. 
Attendance is recommended for Executive Directors, Development Staff, Board Members, and Volunteers within the Not-for-Profit Industry.
