Keynote Speakers
This year’s keynote lineup brings powerhouse speakers ready to inspire, challenge, and equip you with tools for growth. From unlocking trust and teamwork to sparking collaborative change and mastering communication, these sessions will set the tone for an unforgettable conference experience.
Why Attend?
We know how transformative it can be when boards and staff learn together. That’s why this year’s NEPA Learning Conference is designed specifically for nonprofit professionals, board members and volunteers.
With the theme “Building Community Connections with Purpose,” the event offers three energizing days of inspiration, strategy, and peer learning.
We’ve created discounted group ticket bundles to make it easier for full teams to attend. Whether you bring two or ten, this is a unique opportunity to align your leadership, strengthen your board’s engagement, and return with actionable tools you can apply immediately.
Each session is practical and interactive, and participants will receive a copy of each speaker’s book for deeper learning. Additional highlights include:
- Tools and frameworks to build trust, improve messaging, and support collaboration
- Two evening networking receptions
- Peer learning opportunities with nonprofit professionals from across the state
If you’ve ever said, “I wish our board or our staff had more time to grow together,”—this is that moment.
At the Scranton Area Community Foundation, we prioritize the importance of enhancing organizational capacity building and view it as transformative to the region as a whole.
