If you work for or with a non-profit agency or philanthropic foundation, you’ll want to attend the next event in the Community Development Speaker Series hosted by  the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. On July 20th from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m., Rick Cohen, the national correspondent for Nonprofit Quarterly, will share his views about the current state of  philanthropy and the nonprofit sector  at the FRB’s Oklahoma City office, located at 228 Dean McGee Avenue.

After almost 8 years as the executive director of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), Rick Cohen began writing for Nonprofit Quarterly magazine (NPQ), the nation’s premier journal of nonprofit policy and practice, as NPQ’s national correspondent in 2006. His writing for NPQ and other outlets advocates for increased philanthropic giving and access for disadvantaged and disenfranchised constituencies.

To attend this free event, RSVP by July 9, 2010 to Annette Phillips at annette.f.phillips@kc.frb.org or (405) 270-8464. Refreshments will be served.
