National, state, and local economies, donor and foundation giving, increasing regulations, politics, and technological advances are all factors that will fundamentally change the face of nonprofits forever.  We are witnessing challenges to our basic exempt structure and evidence of vanishing boundaries between the nonprofit, business, and governmental sectors.  This transformation is inevitable, but ripe for opportunity, new funding strategies, innovation, and dynamic partnerships.  Join us to explore the forces working to change our sector, and learn where we can shape our future and where we must adapt to survive and thrive in the decades ahead. The journey begins at the Colonial Red Lion Inn September 27-29 in Helena!

Keynote Address: by Ruth McCambridge, Editor-in-Chief of The Nonprofit Quarterly
