Adapting with Intention: Leading Through Resilience
La Vista, Nebraska
Join NAM at the 19th Annual Nonprofit Summit of the Midlands on November 6, 2025! Connect with more than 300 nonprofit leaders from organizations of all sizes and missions for a day of reflection, inspiration, and practical learning.
This year’s theme, “Adapting with Intention: Leading Through Resilience,” invites us to explore what it means to lead with purpose in times of change. Rather than reacting to challenges, resilient leaders embrace thoughtful, values-driven adaptation, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth and innovation. Together, we’ll discover strategies to build organizational agility, inspire confident teams, and stay grounded in mission through uncertainty.
Registration Opens: August 2025
