United Way of Greater Knoxville will bring members of the non-profit community together for a day of conversation, connection and action. The UpWard Summit is an opportunity for all nonprofits, regardless of size or type of service, to convene and discuss the issues facing the community. Participants will be able to network with other nonprofits in the region, discuss best practices for maximizing impact, navigating operational or ideological challenges and hear from a speaker who is a social change strategist, author and educator. Participants also will get the opportunity to learn more about the Upward Summit Grant. Registration is free for those working in the non-profit sector.
