Sep 10th
From the Independent Sector:
Explore these questions with other under-age 40 nonprofit leaders during the NGen program at the Independent Sector Annual Conference this October 19-20. NGen: Moving Nonprofit Leaders from Next to Now provides you and your peers an exceptional opportunity to enhance your professional networks, develop new approaches to leadership, and contribute to generating a more promising future for the nonprofit community.

Independent Sector’s Annual Conference & NGen Fellowship Opportunity
Feb 20th
I am excited to announce I will be serving on the Advisory Committee for the NGen portion of Independent Sector's annual conference October 20-22nd in Atlanta, GA. We are planning many exciting things for this year's next gen participants!
Also, below is information about how to apply to be an NGen Fellow.
From the Independent Sector:
We are pleased to announce the second year of the American Express NGen Fellows Program, which builds the capacity of 12 under-40 professionals from IS member organizations to shape the future of the nonprofit community. The IS website provides details about the fellows program, including how to apply. Completed applications are due March 29.
NGen fellows will enjoy a series of exceptional opportunities over the course of nine months, including collaborating with other under-40 leaders, interacting with established mentors, and contributing to IS’s work on nonprofit impact and leadership. Independent Sector will host the 12 fellows at our D.C. offices for a kick-off event in late August, and they will receive complementary registration and lodging to take part in the IS Annual Conference in Atlanta, October 20-22. These experiences will culminate in a six-month group project that advances their leadership skills and contributes to the ability of emerging leaders to collaborate on sector-wide issues.
The American Express NGen Fellows Program is just one part of IS’s NGen initiative, which is designed to deepen the nonprofit talent pool by developing the leadership opportunities and professional networks of emerging leaders. We have already begun planning for this year’s NGen program at the IS Annual Conference in Atlanta; mark your calendars now for targeted NGen events open to all under-40 leaders October 19-20.
