We recently celebrated the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our first cohort of incredible graduates for successfully completing our Nonprofit Civic Engagement Collective, a coalition available to Alliance members, uniting and empowering Mississippi nonprofits with shared policy goals and objectives to develop strategies and winning advocacy campaigns that further advance their mission. These Alliance members are now equipped with the knowledge and skills to shape meaningful change in their communities and we can't wait to see the impact they'll make! Thanks to our partners, Ten One Strategies and Nancy Perret for supporting this journey.

High-functioning boards are no accident, and building one requires a clear strategy and plan. Whether you already have a good board of directors or are just beginning to assemble your first board, this session will help you gain clarity about the roles, responsibilities, and structure of high-functioning boards, as well as how to make necessary changes when change is required. In addition to high-quality information, you will also receive a board assessment tool to determine your board’s strengths and weaknesses and set you on a path toward increased board engagement and effectiveness!

What a GREAT quarterly member meeting we had today! Our special guests gave a wonderful presentation and held a panel discussion on the vital role of nonprofit and philanthropy partnerships in disaster response and recovery, such a near and dear topic given all the disaster events that have occurred in the southeast region recently. Thanks to all who participated in-person and online, and a special thanks to the Mississippi Library Commission Commission for use of your meeting space and staff for all their support before, during and after the meeting!

Social change isn’t possible when nonprofit leaders are exhausted. Extended paid leave helped me — and can help others.
