NANOE Governors will host Diana, as one of five keynote addresses at their 2019 Board of Governors Convention & Expo in Charleston, SC. Diana will challenge audience members to abandon the failed “best practices” that keeps the Non-Profit Sector a Non-Growth Sector. Her “Bursting the Nonprofit Bubble” address will reveal why nonprofits have mistakenly based their business models on unsustainable altruistic pro-bono activities. She will inspire NANOE Governors to seek the best of everything for their charity ensuring that organizations gain the competitive advantage they need to solve our world’s biggest challenges. Diana, as a global fundraiser has overseen a range of projects including United Nation crisis initiatives, major international NGOs and campaigns in Europe & the U.S. She specializes in new market entry studies, implementation of scale strategies, and strategic reviews of global fundraising programs.
