"The Nonprofit Association of Oregon (NAO) is the statewide membership organization providing a unique vehicle for nonprofit sector expression and support. At NAO, we believe the nonprofit sector strengthens the fabric of our democracy and our communities. Nonprofits create many public benefits such as opportunities to participate in civic affairs, enrich cultural life, provide needed services, generate significant economic impact, address inequities, and create innovative solutions to community issues. By representing and supporting charitable nonprofits of all sizes and geographic locations across Oregon, we strive to convene, build capacity, promote best practices and be a thought leader to help nonprofits build a thriving and vital Oregon."
At Nonstop, we wholeheartedly believe in the mission of the NAO, and we will be attending the annual conference today and tomorrow in support of the organization. This conference creates a “powerful and unique learning opportunity for nonprofit and social change leaders in the Pacific Northwest,” through a focus on cross-sector alliances and partnership, emerging and transitioning leadership, and culturally-competent capacity-building.
