Join One Voice Central Texas and The Nonprofit Council in welcoming Diane Yentel, President and CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits.
For more than 30 years, the National Council of Nonprofits has mobilized the nation’s largest sector-wide network of nonprofits to achieve transformative results. They provide nonprofits with the tools, research, and resources needed to operate more effectively, efficiently, and ethically.
We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to speak with the National Council of Nonprofits as they have been providing invaluable guidance in uncertain times, including their frequently updated chart on executive orders, risk assessment checklists, and information on what is myth vs. what is reality. As federal executive orders increasingly threaten to undermine nonprofit missions and operations, Diane will share critical insights, clarify the real impacts, and help attendees understand what is in their control.
