SVP Partners and Friends,

The SVPI conference is my best chance all year to connect with people who share my passion for active  philanthropy.  Whether they are old friends or newcomers, the presenters and attendees from across the network inspire me with their stories and challenge me with their ideas. 

The conference is a very special event that helps me recharge and recommit to creating better nonprofits in my home town and becoming more actively engaged in my community.

I hope to see you at the 2009 SVP Conference.
