Schneider Downs Annual Nonprofit Symposium

When: November 30, -0001 12:00AM

Join us for a day of insight.
Join us as we address issues pertinent to your industry. Our Nonprofit Symposium will benefit the financial staff of your organization and will be interactive, too, so bring your questions. We have designed a program that will offer nonprofit industry updates, insights and best practices for your organization.

We asked, you answered, we responded.
This year, we are pleased to announce a new format for our Annual Nonprofit Symposium. After surveying nonprofits in the Columbus business community, we found that a format change might better serve you, your interests and most importantly – your busy schedule. You are welcome to join us for the whole day or for any session that suits your needs.
