President’s message:
Jan Masuoka to headline HANO’s
December mini-conference
This fall, HANO has a full line-up of workshops on nonprofit budgeting (on Kauai and in Hilo), business planning, navigating the federal grant process and advocacy, all leading up to the HANO annual meeting and mini-conference on Dec. 9 at the Ko‘olau Ballroom in Kaneohe.
This event will feature Jan Masaoka of Blue Avocado, who will address best practices in difficult times, as well as a state of the nonprofit sector update and discussion of advocacy issues on the horizon. Stay tuned for registration details and sponsorship opportunities.
