Annual Impact Forums

Our Annual Impact Forums bring together nonprofit leaders, community leaders, and senior-level decision makers from the public and private sectors to discuss emerging issues in the region. Presentations from nationally-known Keynote speakers, followed by roundtable discussions, all serve to identify the impact of these issues in our work and in the community at large. Previous topics have included “The Changing Face of Corporate Philanthropy,” “The Overhead Myth,” “Generational Dynamics in the Nonprofit, Public, and Private Sectors,” “Intentional Philanthropy,” and “Employee Engagement and Social Impact,” and “Current and Future State of the Nonprofit Sector.”

In 2019, our Forum welcomed more than 160 participants representing nonprofits, businesses, higher educational institutions, civic and faith-based groups, and government leaders.

Previous Forums have been moderated by Rick Spatz and Terry Shannon, the former and current Executive Directors of the Executive Partners Program, Raymond A. Mason School of Business, William & Mary.
