Event Description
Title
The Challenge of Restoring Trust in Civil Society - A Conversation with Dan Cardinali, President and CEO - Independent Sector
Presenter
Dan Cardinali, President and CEO, Independent Sector
Moderator
Jim White, Executive Director, Nonprofit Association of Oregon
Driven by a confluence of powerful trends and movements, Americans’ trust in civil society has declined at a time when trust in the independent (nonprofit) sector continues to rise.
NAO is excited to welcome Dan Cardinali, President and CEO of Independent Sector to share his perspective on what he’s hearing and experiencing at the national level and what Independent Sector is doing to help create dialogue and discourse towards restoring trust in civil society. In a moderated discussion with the audience, Dan seeks to engage and hear what Oregonians are thinking, what we are doing to create opportunities for courageous conversations in our own communities and how we are listening, understanding and recognizing that differences make us stronger. Join us for a live in-person conversation with Dan Cardinali!
