Nonprofit Excellence Symposium

2026 Nonprofit Excellence Symposium

October 23, 2026

Save the Date

The Nonprofit Excellence Symposium brings together professionals from local businesses and nonprofits for a half-day of workshops, presentations, idea sharing, and networking open to USI students and anyone who works in or is interested in the nonprofit sector.

Registration will open for the Nonprofit Excellence Symposium in August.  Sponsored by the University of Southern Indiana Master of Public Administration program (www.usi.edu/mpa) and the Evansville Area Fundraising Council, the Nonprofit Excellence Symposium will be held from 8:00 AM – 2:30 PM.  The symposium is open to anyone who works in or is interested in the nonprofit sector and includes a half day of professional development workshops.  This year’s symposium will feature two keynote addresses, workshop sessions on a diverse range of nonprofit topics and opportunities for idea sharing. 

The cost of the conference is $30 and includes all workshops, continental breakfast, buffet lunch and all program materials.

If you have any questions about the Nonprofit Excellence Symposium or the MPA at USI, please contact Trent Engbers at taengbers@usi.edu.



The Nonprofit Excellence Symposium arose out of a commitment to helping support area nonprofits. It is just one of many ways that the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program connects USI resources to community needs.  As an applied professional program in public administration, the MPA seeks to offer real world experiences to its students that enhance their learning while strengthening the community.
