This time, in London on Oct. 15 (for those in the arts/culture field) and Oct. 16 (for charities and campaigning organizations). Don't miss out! And book now – early birds who register before Sept. 13 get some special rewards.

The nonprofit sector has lost a giant - Jerry Linzy. From his obituary: "Professionally, he was nationally and internationally renowned for his regard for his clients and the organizations he passionately served. As Chief Managing Partner and COO of Jerold Panas, Linzy & Partners, he touched countless colleagues and helped organizations in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe raise more than four billion dollars. However, it was his commitment to mentoring fellow colleagues and professionals that set him apart from the crowd." "Jerry was a former boss and, for decades, an incredible friend and mentor," shares Jeff Jowdy, president of Lighthouse Counsel. "I will miss our tradition of meeting for breakfast—I always left smarter and inspired." Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and our friends at Jerold Panas, Linzy & Partners. https://lnkd.in/eYyq3_Cg
