Maryland Nonprofits Annual Conference

Our Annual Conference, held each fall, is Maryland’s premier event for nonprofit professionals and thought leaders to share best practices and discuss public policy. Held each fall, it’s an opportunity to explore trends, network, and foster collaboration.

This year’s conference was exceptional! My nonprofit had a challenging year; so much so that I was at the point of rethinking whether or not to continue. The conference breakout sessions, meet ups and networking breathed new life and the confidence I needed.

I am so glad we were able to have a Q&A with the Lieutenant Governor….they will get back to me by end of this week with possible dates to meet. The opportunity to meet the Lieutenant Governor would never have happened without Maryland Nonprofits holding this virtual event.
