Nonprofit Leadership Conference

For 15 years, Drury University’s Nonprofit Leadership Conference has convened leaders committed to strengthening organizations and advancing mission-driven work. This milestone invites both reflection and resolve: reflection on the practices and principles that have sustained nonprofits over time, and resolve to prepare for the opportunities and challenges ahead. As we mark our 15th anniversary, we invite presenters to help nonprofits bridge legacy and innovation—grounded in what works, and focused on what’s next.
The theme Time-Tested. Future-Focused. honors the enduring foundations of effective nonprofit leadership—strong governance, responsible stewardship, compelling communication, and mission-centered strategy—while encouraging forward-thinking approaches that position organizations for lasting impact.
Sessions will be focused on four conference tracks:
Leadership & Governance
Fundraising & Development
Communications & Marketing
Finance & Operations
