I just led a teleconference today, sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Nonprofits, on the topic of the future of the nonprofit sector. I focused on our recent research initiative NonprofitNext and related report Convergence: How Five Trends Will Reshape the Social Sector.  I invite everyone, CEN members and beyond, to join the conversation and visit the NonprofitNext blog.

Following up my recent Merging Wisely article in Stanford Social Innovation Review, I will be discussing the practical issues involved in merging nonprofit organizations at the next SSIR Live! webinar. From Nonprofit Partnerships to Mergers: How to Restructure for Success will take place Tuesday, April 6, 2010, from 11:00am – Noon PT. I plan to leave plenty of time for questions, so bring yours and join us. Register today!
