Keynote Announced for Virtual Nonprofit Seminar, April 27th, 2022
AAFCPAs is thrilled to announce our Keynote Speaker Laura Lanzerotti for our 2022 Virtual Nonprofit Educational Seminar!
Laura Lanzerotti, Partner, The Bridgespan Group!
Laura leads Bridgespan’s work in Innovation Strategy and Collaborative Processes. Since joining Bridgespan in 2006, she has supported a number of institutional and family philanthropies to develop and refine their impact strategies and nonprofit leaders to pursue innovation and scale in a variety of fields including early childhood, youth development, economic opportunity, and place-based change. Some of her recent clients include The Studio @ Blue Meridian, PolicyLink, Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF), Eden Housing, and Hopelab.
Laura’s specialty is designing innovative and inclusive strategy processes, including a project for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation that engaged hundreds of people in developing an economic development plan for their community. Over a thousand people across the globe contributed to this “open strategy” project for the Wikimedia Foundation and supported a group of funders in the early childhood field, to help them align investments to improve kindergarten readiness.
Laura is co-author of “Twin Engines for Propelling Social Impact,” (Stanford Social Innovation Review, 2021) and “Is Your Nonprofit Built for Sustained Innovation?,” (SSIR, 2017), among others.
Fireside Chat Format:
The Keynote session will be moderated by AAFCPAs’ Managing Partner Carla McCall, CPA, CGMA.
“I encourage registrants to read Laura’s above articles and to come with questions for our keynote,” said McCall. “We recognize that it may be challenging for nonprofits to innovate while still focusing on their core. In discussions with Laura, I’m excited about her success stories and rises in more flexible funding that allows for experimentation and failure!”
AAFCPAs’ Virtual Nonprofit Educational Seminar on Wednesday, April 27, is considered by many nonprofit CFOs and Executive Directors to be the premier nonprofit finance educational event of the year! This event is complimentary for nonprofit executives. Please join us!
