Join us for a reception May 17, on the eve of the Alliance for Nonprofit Management's May 18 New England Regional Meeting in Cambridge, focusing on the theme of cultural competency. The Alliance is a powerful network of "capacity builders" to nonprofits – consultants, funders, academics and others who support a strong, healthy nonprofit sector capable of transforming society. Our People of Color Affinity Group (POC) is a vibrant part of that picture, and has led the Alliance in developing cultural competency initiatives. The purpose of this work is to develop nonprofit assistance that is community-centered, in historical and cultural context, and making real change.

The reception on May 17 will bring together Alliance POC members and other area capacity builders of color for networking and a conversation with Gus Newport, moderated by Andrea Nagel of Interaction Institute for Social Change. Gus has shown phenomenal leadership in the nonprofit sector, which includes directing community initiatives (including the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative), consulting to foundations and other nonprofit organizations, and acting as general manager for Pacifica station KPFW. A former mayor of Berkeley, he is now executive director of the Institute for Community Economics in Springfield, MA. Gus serves on the board of Interaction Institute and as an Advisory Council member of the Alliance.

Members of our sister organizations, such as the NNG National Network of Grantmakers People of Color Caucus, are welcome, and we want to include people of color currently in the roles of funders, consultants, and academics dedicated to effective nonprofits that produce social change. If you know of others who should be invited, please let us know!

Special thanks to the
