Join us as we discuss the current status of the Trump administration’s executive orders and their impact on nonprofit organizations. We will discuss potential mid- and long-term scenarios as well as risk implications for nonprofits, and how nonprofits can and should communicate with key audiences using crisis communication techniques.
A panel of experts will offer actionable insights and strategies to help nonprofit leaders navigate this quickly evolving regulatory environment. You’ll learn how these directives may influence your organization’s funding, strategic priorities, constituent services, and advocacy efforts, as well as how to communicate impact.
