If you’re not familiar, Cause Camp is Nonprofit Hub’s annual conference that brings together thought leaders, nonprofit professionals and do-gooders from all over the world. Registration for the event is live, and seats are limited, so be sure to get your hands on a ticket before it’s too late!

Now, without further ado, your lineup:

Vu Le

Vu is a writer, speaker, vegan, Pisces, and the Executive Director of Rainier Valley Corps, a nonprofit in Seattle that promotes social justice by developing leaders of color, strengthening organizations led by communities of color,= and fostering collaboration between diverse communities. Vu’s passion to make the world better, combined with a low score on the Law School Admission Test, drove him into the field of nonprofit work, where he learned that we should take the work seriously, but not ourselves. There’s tons of humor in the nonprofit world, and someone needs to document it. He is going to do that, with the hope that one day, a TV producer will see how cool and interesting our field is and make a show about nonprofit work, featuring attractive actors attending strategic planning meetings and filing 990 tax forms.
