SC Nonprofit Keynotes!

Posted By: Andrea Tucker For Good Connections, Nonprofit Summit,

Have you marked your calendar yet for our 2025 SC Nonprofit Summit coming up on February 25-27 in Columbia? 

We’ve got two BIG announcements today that should move your calendar event from a “hold” to “confirmed”. 

First, we are ecstatic to have the following Keynote Speakers help us set the stage and dive deep into our theme of Creating Common Ground. 

  1. Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, former Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme, and former Governor of SC, David Beasley will kick off our Summit with a galvanizing message on what it’s like creating common ground in divisive climates.  

  2. Dr. Manuel Pastor returns after his highly praised 2024 Keynote alongside his co-author Dr. Chris Benner to dive deeper on how South Carolina’s growth is leaving some behind, and what we can do about it. 

  3. Our engaging Local Leaders Panel also returns, this time featuring local elected officials – city and county council members, school board trustees, and mayors – all of whom have experience working for and with nonprofits to create common ground right at home. 

 

Second, Early Bird Registration Opens Today! 

Together SC members can now register for the 2025 SC Nonprofit Summit at a special reduced rate through September 30!  

Members can lock in the same price as 2024’s Summit today, $295, before rates increase to $330 on October 1. On October 1, full registration will open alongside the full agenda.

Your Summit Co-Chairs and Allies For Good,

P.S. Hotel rooms can also be reserved starting today at the Columbia Marriott for the special rate of $195/night (+ tax).

We hope you’ll take advantage of this special deal, and we look forward to more announcements in the coming months!
