You don’t have to listen to John Stone very long to know that he is committed to excellence, for himself and for the organization he leads, the Alabama Association of Nonprofits. On March 8-9 at Cahaba Grand Conference Center, AAN provides training to help us all move closer to excellence in everything from board governance to fundraising and human resources management.

Eight training tracks (six on Wednesday, two on Tuesday) provide plenty of new information for staff and board members alike. You’ll also learn from inspirational plenary and keynote speakers Ann Diaz, manager of strategic partnership and consulting for the Taproot Foundation, and Susan Decker, senior consultant for BoardSource.

Feb. 15 is the last day for early registration, which saves you some money. And your second attendee gets to come for $99, no matter when you register. Check out the AAN website to find out more.
