Speaking Engagement
Presented by: EideBailly, Cushman & Wakefield, NorthMarq, Minnesota Bank & Trust and GPM
Nonprofit organizations tackle our community’s toughest issues and needs, while for-profits are much more focused on the bottom line. But are the two worlds really so far apart? Do for-profit principles really work in the nonprofit world?
Please join us for a complimentary breakfast and conversation with other nonprofit executives, board members, and for-profit leaders. Hear from our panelists of nonprofit leaders who have applied business practices to their organizations, and from professional advisors who help incorporate these principles in working with their nonprofit clients.
Steve Rothschild, author of The Non Nonprofit: For-Profit Thinking for Nonprofit Success, will kick off our morning, followed by a panel discussion and conversation with all participants. We look forward to learning from each other.
