On April 10, 2019, CCVO convened the 8th annual Connections Conference at Mount Royal University. We focused on being adaptive – represented by the chameleon, one of the most adaptive creatures on Earth. The 2019 Conference speakers – local, national, and international leaders and experts – shared insights that helped empower nonprofits and their supporters to respond to changes in the economy, technology, and society, and be proactive in leading and learning from change.

How can we better prepare to proactively respond to change in a way that empowers all of us?
How does being adaptive support our work for the communities we serve?
Nonprofits play an essential role in ensuring our health and well-being, our connectedness and quality of life, and are on the leading edge of thinking and modernizing practice and service delivery in Alberta. To support their work, nonprofits are increasingly required to be more adaptive: responsive to the transformation of the economy, alert to the impacts of social and technological change, and proactive in leading change. We are excited to see the nonprofit sector evolving in many positive ways and becoming more responsive to the increasing pace and rate of change.
The 2019 Connections Conference provided nonprofit attendees with new leadership, learning, and advocacy insights, best practices, and resources to help develop the attendees’ capacity to be adaptive in what is certain to be a complex and unpredictable future.
