January 6  Town Hall Meeting Harrisburg

January 5-10 PANO hosted a delegation from Japan. 
On January 10, PANO staff and volunteers watched the Japanese delegation of nonprofit leaders depart from Harrisburg International Airport. Over the coming weeks, PANO will strive to build upon these relationships and bring this benefit to our members and our Commonwealth. From January 3 through January 10, PANO hosted a delegation of 12 nonprofit Leaders from Niigata, Japan.  During their brief stay in Central Pennsylvania, the delegation strived to learn from the successes and challenges of our Nonprofit Sector. PANO would like to extend our most sincere appreciation to all who helped make this experience rewarding, enriching and truly memorable. These Japanese delegates have returned home safely to running their respective nonprofit charities in Niigata Japan. Their challenge ahead is large. Their Agenda.  Report about the trip.

Standards for Excellence: “Preventing the ‘Where Was the Board?’ Question from Surfacing in a Nonprofit Organization.” After three years of operation in Pennsylvania, the Standards for Excellence program is making an impact on participating organizations – both staff and board - while at the same time surfacing common challenges in ethics and accountability practices of nonprofit organizations. This session will focus on practical ways to address the increasing need for educating staff and board in appropriate “best practices” as well as serving as a “wake up call” to ensure prevention of improprieties
