2001 Independent Sector Annual Conference


With civil society on our minds more than ever, the INDEPENDENT SECTOR Annual Conference and Meeting of Members, November 4-6 in Atlanta, gave our community a shared opportunity to advance the national dialogue about the enhanced role the sector must now play in standing for tolerance and in encouraging a sustained giving and volunteering effort. Approximately 700 nonprofit and philanthropic leaders joined us in Atlanta for an action-packed three days of thought-provoking discussion and learning.
