In today’s fast-evolving nonprofit landscape, data alone isn’t enough—collaboration across finance, programs, and leadership is critical to advancing your mission. But outdated systems can create silos, delay insights, and prevent teams from working off a single source of truth.

Join us for a timely conversation, where we’ll explore how modern cloud ERP solutions can help nonprofits break free from legacy limitations, enabling smarter collaboration, more timely reporting, and deeper visibility across your organization.

In this session, you’ll learn how you can:
· Turn disconnected data into shared insight—aligning programs, finance, and leadership in real time
· Automate and streamline routine tasks to shift focus back to strategy and impact
· Empower teams with collaborative dashboards and real-time reports that support confident, data-informed decisions
· Ensure transparency and audit readiness with centralized data and granular visibility across funds, grants, and projects

Whether you’re a CFO, controller, or program lead, this session will help you rethink what’s possible when your team—and your data—are truly working together.

Discover advanced best practices in CRM and Data Analytics, and inform your strategy to ensure you are maximizing impact from your technology investments. The session culminates with actionable takeaways and strategic guidance for organizational leaders navigating today’s fast-evolving technology landscape.

In a world of brittle systems, high anxiety, non-linear outcomes, and incomprehensible challenges, it is essential for association and nonprofit boards to set a higher standard of stewardship, governing, and foresight and become fit for purpose.

1. Explain why it is essential for associations and nonprofit organizations to build fit-for-purpose boards.

2. Examine the detrimental impact of orthodox beliefs on association/nonprofit board performance.
