SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Dannible & McKee, LLP is set to host its 24th annual nonprofit conference, a virtual event that is scheduled for this Wednesday Jan. 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The conference will include seven presenters, along with keynote speaker Frank Ridzi, vice president for Community Investment at the Central New York Community Foundation.

Melanie Littlejohn, president and CEO of the Central New York Community Foundation, was scheduled to be keynote speaker but notified Dannible & McKee that she’s unable to participate. Ridzi will deliver the same presentation, “From Mission to Metrics: Building a Stronger Case for Impact.”

Syracuse–based Dannible & McKee, LLP is a certified public accounting and consulting firm.

The nonprofit conference is open to nonprofit leaders, board members, and professionals across the business community. Registration is complimentary and available online at dmcpas.com/events.

The conference will feature presentations by Dannible & McKee’s audit, tax, and accounting professionals, covering topics that are titled, “Let’s Take the Dysfunction Out of Your Functional Statement!” as well as “The Top Questions You Want to Ask Your CPA About Your Tax-Exempt Organization;” and “Audit Survival Guide — From Panic to Prepared.”

In the keynote session, “From Mission to Metrics: Building a Stronger Case for Impact,” Ridzi will offer practical strategies to help nonprofit leaders connect mission-driven work with meaningful metrics that resonate with funders, boards and the communities they serve, per the announcement.

Attendees will learn how to identify key performance indicators, strengthen impact storytelling, and align data with strategic goals — “walking away with tools to not only measure what matters but to communicate it with confidence,” Dannible & McKee added in describing the keynote presentation.

Continuing professional education (CPE) credits are available for eligible participants. Additional information regarding credits is available on the registration page.
