We are READY.
Ready to be together.
Ready to survey new realities of our sector.
Ready to navigate this changing landscape with each other.
For many of us, the pandemic didn’t bring the worst-case headquarters challenges we feared. Donations continued to flow, staff transitioned to work-from-home, and despite lockdowns we pursued our missions.
Yet the pandemic was also deeply isolating: a stark reminder that we were never meant to go it alone. Now as restrictions are lifted, we hope you’ll join us for OneAccord: Ready.
In this period of intense change, we'll take this chance to relax, to look afresh at our new landscape, and exchange innovations with others. But most of all we'll ground ourselves together in the One who never changes.

REDEMPTIVE Innovation
Do we have to say it? COVID changed our landscape in unforeseen ways.
Now we have the opportunity to shape anew our way of doing business.
We’ll explore how the pandemic era's intense change brings us peril and
promise. We'll look at both the threats and opportunities on the horizon,
with an emphasis on how current events are shaping the nonprofit
sector.

We are ON!
And for safety protocols, here is an excerpt from Ridgecrest's welcome page:
- "Per CDC and county guidance, we strongly encourage all individuals wear masks in public indoor spaces – especially when near other people.
- We require all individuals to wear masks in these areas: serving lines in the Dining Room and while in line to order/pay in Clouds Coffee Shop"
- Accord will be providing masks as you check in to the event.
