SUMMARY:2020 MCN Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 2020\, a year that is nothing but change and challenge. A year in which a return to some storied before-time is not possible nor just. A year in which dual pandemics\, one in its infancy\, another over 400 years old\, implore us to center Black lives and collectively imagine and lay fresh footing for a world where everyone thrives and our interconnectedness is embraced. \nConference highlights\n2 Keynote Addresses \nPowerful Together: Collective Action at the County Level\nHennepin County Commissioners Angela Conley and Irene Fernando will share the stage with interviewer Liz Kuoppala\, Executive Director of Mahube-Otwa Community Action Partnership to discuss how the commissioners have intersected with nonprofits throughout their careers\, where they see the nonprofit sector as participants in imagining solutions for housing and racism\, and shedding light on the power of county boards.

The hope is that the conversations started in these quick gatherings will continue throughout the conference and after we have all said goodbye.\nWellness and Cheer Offerings\nInvite your brain to be still\, take a dance break\, or engage your senses with poetry and music. This year we invite you to take a moment to treat yourself to some self-care and joy as the conference rolls along.\nDip into an on-demand yoga offering. Take in a multi-sensory experience.
