This year's Spring Conference for the Social Sector will bring together seasoned leaders and cutting-edge innovators to explore New Jersey's rapidly evolving landscape--and the complex implications for the funding community and its grantee partners.
For the social sector to continue to be effective and prepared, a united, collaborative community is essential, and funders and nonprofits need a robust understanding of what is on the horizon. The Spring Conference will provide attendees with an overview of New Jersey's current landscape--demographics, socioeconomics, building, education, environment, business, technology, workforce, government, infrastructure, healthcare, and more--and present a view into what can be expected. Participants will then come together to collectively consider what it means for the issues they care about, so that they can prepare and respond effectively.
The Conference will feature multiple plenary, shared learning experiences where guests will jointly explore the changing environment in which the community will be working. And, of course, there will be ample opportunities to connect with colleagues for informal conversations and deeper exploration of ideas. Through the Conference, CNJG hopes to generate and strengthen collaborative thinking to foster greater collective action.
