Event Details

Maine nonprofits have been facing extraordinary volatility and uncertainty due to rapid, often confusing, federal executive actions.

Join MANP on Wednesday, May 28th in Rockland for the latest information on what we’re hearing from our partners in DC, other states and here in Maine. Come hear how your nonprofit colleagues are meeting these challenges and how you can prepare your team to speak up for your needs and mission.

This forum will give participants:

Updates on information related to federal executive actions and state legislative policy;
An opportunity to ask questions and share experiences that will help us all gain insights and support for moving forward;
An “Advocacy for Nonprofits” training to help your organization feel more confident about advocating for your mission
