The Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay and Bank of America are teaming up to present "Lead Yourself -- Wow Others." The 3
rd Annual Leadership Conference, April 26 at the A La Carte Event Pavilion, offers networking and skill development for nonprofit professionals, board members and the business community.
The half-day event is unique in that it brings together professionals from nonprofit and for-profit businesses to discuss common goals and make meaningful connections.
"The event is targeted to be a melding of the nonprofit and for-profit sectors coming together to learn, but also for collegial networking,'' says Grace Armstrong, CEO of the Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay.
The networking aspect is what most attendees identify as a major benefit of the event, as well as other programs provided by the
Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay. The center feels that companies have a lot to learn from each other, regardless of their company type.
A new addition to the conference this year is the presence of vendors who have products or services of interest to attendees, such as
The University of Tampa’s certificate in nonprofit management, fundraising software company
Bloomerang and the
Nonprofit Consultants Connection.
Topics include: the new wave of entrepreneurship, how to inspire change and strategies for wowing the world. Keynote speaker Jon Acuff, author and CNN contributor, will speak about "The Map with Two Roads," or why now is the ideal time to make changes to your life or business. Donna Cuttting with Red-Carpet Learning Systems will talk about how to enhance he customer experience by engaging employees.
"It’s an opportunity to take a break from your daily work while still promoting your business and learning something new," adds Armstrong.
Registration is $75 per person until April 5 and includes lunch and a signed copy of Jon Acuff’s book.
