Let's Connect: Perseverance

Any nonprofit professional can tell you that true change takes time, and often, the results we seek take years, if not decades, to come to fruition. When you're running a mission-marathon, how do you keep pace? Take a moment to hear from recognized leaders in the Kansas City community and learn what it takes to be a persevering advocate for the causes you care about. 

During this session, you'll learn from individuals who were nominated for the Persevering Advocate Award at the 2021 Philanthropy Awards Luncheon. We've celebrated their accomplishments and now it's time to take a peek behind the curtain to understand what happened behind the scenes so that we can apply those learnings to our own organizations. 

In the second part of the session, we'll move into breakout rooms to encourage small group discussion and networking. You will have the opportunity to share your perspective, ask questions, and gain insight from your nonprofit peers. 

This is a program of the Let's Connect: Virtual Discussion Series. 

Speakers:

Nonprofit professionals know how turn obstacles into opportunities and make lemonade out of lemons. Join the 2021 Philanthropy Awards Nominees to hear how these leaders champion their missions. More than a recap of their awards submission, these speakers will share a behind-the-scenes peek at what it takes to keep going when times are tough. 

Kenzi Hoyle serves as Partnership Development Manager at Visit KC, the primary organization dedicated to tourism in the Kansas City area.
