Conference for non-profit agencies

     The Blurring Lines Between The Public, Private and Nonprofit Sectors"
is the theme of a conference scheduled on Tuesady, May 11, at Clayton Hall
on the University of Delaware's Laird Campus in Newark.
     Sponsored by the Collaborative Training Group, the conference will
examine the challenges that face the non-profit sector as lines between the
public, private and non-profit sectors become less clear and as the economy
forces non-profit organizations to engage in income-producing activities.
     The conference will focus on the strategies necessary to meet these
challenges, while providing non-profit executives and staff, board members
and other volunteers, public administrators and elected officials with the
opportunity to explore the implications of change.
     Pablo Eisenberg, president of the Center for Community Change and
co-chair of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, will
deliver the keynote address.
     Workshop topics include "The Non-profit as Entrepreneur," "The
Challenge of IRS Regulation" and "The Fine Line Between Lobbying and
Advocacy."
     Workshop facilitators are Laura Kay Landy, president of Entrepreneur
ship Training and Consulting; Thomas C. Spring, a Washington, D.C.,
attorney; and C.J. VanPelt Hill, director of public policy for the YMCA of
the USA.
