For the first time in its eight years, the Alabama Power Foundation’s annual Elevate Conference has gone virtual. Traditionally, Elevate has brought together nonprofits from around the state for a day to encourage collaboration and offer workshops focused on best practices for building a better Alabama.
This year’s conference, which starts Monday, June 22, instead will be a five-day exploration of the dramatic impact COVID-19 has had on nonprofits and how they can navigate the challenges created by a global pandemic.
“One of the many ways in which we partner with and support nonprofits is through our annual Elevate conference,” said Myla Calhoun, president of the Alabama Power Foundation. “This conference is an opportunity for us to connect with our nonprofit partners and provide training opportunities so they can continue to fulfill their mission and expand their impact. Because of COVID-19, we moved our conference to a virtual setting, but this has allowed us to provide an even more robust agenda and has given us the ability to accommodate more attendees.”
