Independent Sector Kicks Off Unprecedented Initiative to Strengthen the Nonprofit and Philanthropic Community

Starting in September will be extensive and accessible online conversations designed to include all nonprofit staffers and stakeholders. Content from these discussions will then be fed into a series of FutureLabs at the IS Annual Conference, to be held in Detroit November 4-6 in partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations. FutureLabs will focus on specific issues, such as technology and communications, demographic shifts, or new sustainability models for the sector, and use interactive techniques to draw on the knowledge and experience of conference attendees.
