At the heart of the 2008 Independent Sector Annual Conference, which will bring together 1,000 leaders from throughout the nonprofit community, will be four insightful plenary sessions:
The opening plenary will analyze the results of the 2008 election, including what it reveals about the hopes and concerns of the American people;
The “Conversation with a Sector Leader” will feature Ford Foundation President Luis Ubiñas;
The luncheon plenary will start with insights from new IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, then move to IS President and CEO Diana Aviv’s keynote address on the challenges facing our organizations and our communities, particularly in light of the elections; and
The closing plenary will use the historic 2008 campaign as a starting point for an examination of the state of race and gender in America.
View the preliminary program for more details, including descriptions of the four tracks of breakout sessions and special events such as the Public Policy Action Institute and the Global Civil Society Dinner.
