2021 Virtual Not-for-Profit CPE Seminar

calendar icon December 7, 2021

Day 1

Despite these disruptive times, not-for-profits have risen to the challenge and stepped up to adapt programs and delivery methods to successfully address critical areas of need amidst dramatically increased demand. Organizations are being challenged to be more agile, reinvent themselves and do it all with constrained resources.

At Cherry Bekaert, we have been inspired and humbled by the efforts of not-for-profits to tirelessly fill gaps created by declining program revenue, donor support and funding. That’s why we are again offering our annual Not-for-Profit Seminar virtually, free of charge. This event is intended to provide not-for-profit leaders with the tools necessary to embrace a mindset of continuous innovation and rise from the COVID era with increased organizational agility.
