“In a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”

- Eric Hoffer

Our economy is changing, calling on nonprofit organizations to adapt or perish. A new environment is emerging — one with fewer nonprofits, increased community need, a radically altered financial world, unfamiliar rules and regulations, and enhanced cross-sector thinking and partnerships.

Leaders in the nonprofit sector must envision and anticipate the future in order to navigate it. Are you effectively harnessing the power of your board during these turbulent times? The 2009 BoardSource Leadership Forum offers you and other leaders in your organization the opportunity to share ideas with leading experts on the forces shaping our world — the economy, sustainability, new media, regulatory issues, and leadership.

Attend and absorb. Learn and lead. Seize this moment of change and help your organization thrive.
