America’s Charities Membership Assembly

“Rising Tide of Expectations: Strategies and Tools To Demonstrate Your Performance and Impact in Our Digital Culture”

The Membership Assembly starts with the Annual Business Meeting. We will provide an update on America’s Charities, insights into the Combined Federal Campaign, and an outlook for 2014 and beyond.

The Annual Membership Meeting is followed by full day of speakers and panelists who will engage in interactive discussions around trends impacting the sector and strategies to deal with rising expectations for charities to demonstrate accountability, transparency, performance, effectiveness and impact in the marketplace.

Panelists will discuss:

  • Insights into rising expectations of corporate and individual donors
