Event Details

Join us for a dynamic experience September 21st – 25th.

For nearly two decades, MNA has inspired conference-goers to realize their full potential as leaders, supporters, and champions for the missions that shape Montana. Together, we’ve explored how tenacious leadership, valuing and investing in people, and building a resilient organizational culture fuels us in challenging times. We’ve gone further together by celebrating the transformation that takes place when we join forces for impact and reflect on our individual power to foster relationships that move the common good forward.

This year’s conference, RESOLVE, will offer all of that, plus more because we’ve updated the location to… everywhere! That’s right, MNA is going virtual. With all of Montana’s health and safety in mind, we are transforming the conference into an energetic digital experience. Get ready for:

Impactful Keynotes
Illuminating Breakouts
Deep Dives
Happy Hours
Streaming Live Music from Montana Artists & More!

This year, you will gain access to ALL sessions and materials to watch live or later, at your convenience. We can’t wait to share an enriching experience that will deliver the connection, learning, and growing you’ve come to expect from MNA.

Our goal is to position Montana’s nonprofit leaders to propel their respective missions forward in ways that take Montana beyond the “new normal” to a re-imagined “better normal”. We hope you will join us at the 2020 MNA Conference, RESOLVE, from September 21st through the 25th. Stay tuned for more details.

Interested in presenting at RESOLVE? Submit your speaker proposal by June 21st.
