Nonprofits 9 to 5: What a Way to Make a Living 

The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA) and Independent Sector are excited to invite you to the 11th Annual Nonprofit Public Policy Symposium. 

This unique virtual event welcomes you into a community of leading scholars, nonprofit practitioners, community advocates, and regulators who are experts in the field of public policy. Together, we’ll work to develop a better understanding of policy issues that are shaping – or have the potential to shape – the future of civil society. 

This year, the symposium will focus on the nonprofit sector workforce and nonprofits as employers. Dolly Parton’s classic song “9 to 5” is named after an advocacy organization created to give voice to women in the workforce who felt invisible. Similarly, despite the impressive size and impact of the nonprofit workforce, we are most often invisible to policymakers without significant advocacy by the sector. 

You’ll have the chance to learn about new research findings from leading scholars, explore case studies from nonprofits’ on-the-ground experience, and sharpen your advocacy and public policy skills. Whether you’re a seasoned policy expert or someone who is totally new to the field, there’s an incredible amount to learn!
