Keynote Speaker: Annette Iwamoto

We are excited to announce Annette Iwamoto as this year's keynote speaker. Annette is the Director of the recently created Cuyahoga Human Services Chamber, hosted by the Center for Community Solutions.

Annette is developing, leading, and managing the operations of the new Chamber to provide a forum for collaboration and mutual support and collective voice for human service nonprofit organizations in greater Cleveland. The chamber focuses on identifying opportunities, building relationships, engaging with public officials, influencing and advocating for public policy, and creating efficiencies for members.

Annette's work is timely, as nonprofits are navigating challenges of increasing demands, budget cuts, staff burnout and shortages, and more. Annette will gather us to both acknowledge the moment, while reminding us of the collective power of community.
