YNPN is thrilled to partner with the Theater of Public Policy on January 27 to help forecast what 2012 has in store for the nonprofit sector. Come hear local luminaries talk about what they think the new year holds for the nonprofit world and stay to see their predictions played out (literally) by a group of improv professionals.

First, find out what nonprofit experts Marcia Avner, Senior Fellow for the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, and Sheila Smith, Executive Director of the Minnesota Citizens for the Arts, foresee for 2012. But that's only the beginning. Watch the improv artists from the Theater of Public Policy demonstrate these predictions before your very eyes. You'll also

• be able to network with other YNPN members,
• get a taste of improv theater (widely acclaimed to help professionals think more creatively and nimbly in a professional setting), and
• equip yourself with what you need to know to be a more strategic nonprofit professional in 2012.

Whether the future of the nonprofit sector holds sunshine or showers (or both!), enjoy an enlightening and entertaining evening with more than a few laughs. We hope to see you there!

TICKETS: $5 for YNPN-TC members, $10 for non-members. (All proceeds go to the Theater of Public Policy and the Lowry Lab Theater.)**
