Bridge to Excellence 2014

 

The Bridge to Excellence conference, hosted by the Center for Nonprofit Excellence of Middle Tennessee (CNEMT) in 2014, was a pivotal event designed to foster growth and innovation within the nonprofit sector. The conference provided a day of learning, reflection, and discovery, offering nonprofit professionals the tools and insights needed to strengthen their organizations and drive them toward new benchmarks of success. The goal was for attendees to return to their organizations with fresh ideas, renewed energy, and a stronger sense of purpose in fulfilling their mission.

Participants gained valuable new skills across various key areas, including fundraising, leadership, marketing, board development, and volunteer management. The focus of the conference was on collective impact and transformational change. Rather than simply offering lectures and best practices, the event emphasized the importance of thinking beyond traditional nonprofit boundaries and collaborating with other sectors to achieve community-wide goals. Understanding the power of collective action, the conference featured tailored tracks for CEOs, board members, and staff to engage in meaningful discussions around vision, strategy, and implementation, fostering the connections needed to drive meaningful, systemic change.
