Speaker Series

As part of our mission to educate the nonprofit and foundation communities on the policies and current trends impacting the sector, Alliance for Justice has created a quarterly Speaker Series, which allows individuals and organizations the opportunity to hear expert analysis and commentary from community leaders.  These events are held across the country, and focus on a variety of issues related to nonprofit and foundation advocacy.  Past topics include voter engagement in the immigrant community, foundation support for election-related activities, protecting freedom of speech for nonprofits, and much more!
