USI to host annual Nonprofit Excellence Symposium October 11
September 26, 2024
The University of Southern Indiana will host the annual Nonprofit Excellence Symposium from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, October 11 in Carter Hall and room 227, located in University Center West. Mayor Stephanie Terry will be a special guest speaker at this event.
The Nonprofit Excellence Symposium arose out of a commitment to helping support area nonprofits. It is one of many ways that the USI Master of Public Administration (MPA) Program connects USI resources to community needs. As an applied professional program in public administration, the MPA program seeks to offer real world experiences to its students that enhance their learning while strengthening the community.
“The nonprofit excellence symposium is such a great opportunity for networking and professional development for those in our community who make such a difference,” says Dr. Trent Engbers, Director of the MPA Program.
The Nonprofit Excellence Symposium brings together professionals from local businesses and nonprofits for a half-day of workshops, presentations, idea sharing and networking open to USI students and anyone who works in or is interested in the nonprofit sector. The symposium is open to anyone who works in, or is interested in, the nonprofit sector and includes a half day of professional development workshops. This year’s symposium will feature two keynote addresses, workshop sessions on a diverse range of nonprofit topics and opportunities for idea sharing.
The cost of the conference is $25 and includes all workshops, continental breakfast, buffet lunch and all program materials. Registration is required.
