With this year’s theme of Up in the Air: Shifting Power, Opening Doors, PANO is taking some time out of the hustle and bustle of our everyday work to figure out what it will take to leverage the continued uncertainty we are all facing – from hiring challenges and staff burnout to funding insecurity and the upcoming election – to shift power and open new doors. Rather than feel lost and untethered by all the unknowns, what opportunities might we discover as we lean on each other to find our way forward?
The conference will open with a powerful keynote from Ann Mei Chang, CEO of Candid, on September 30, and close with one from Ananda Leeke, Founder & Chief Mindfulness Officer of Ananda Leeke Consulting, on October 1. And in the spirit of opening new doors, we are trying something a little different with the format of this year’s conference, starting with community-building first and then developing content around those connections (rather than the other way around). We have heard from those coming to post-pandemic events the value of face time with peers as its own learning outcome, in addition to the value of the takeaways we get from speakers.
Eeach day will feature both a 75-minute workshop and an extended facilitated discussion on a topic within the following broad categories:
- Board Governance
- Fundraising/Resource Development
- Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (JEDI)
- Leadership
- Operations
