About this event

Over the past two years, impact organizations have stepped up to fill gaps in critical service provision and supports for our most vulnerable citizens. Programs and services moved online, people delivered food, help set up emergency response shelters, created social connections, and so much more. These efforts have taken a toll – the pandemic pushed longstanding systemic issues within our sector to the brink, and people are on the edge of burnout.
Last fall, the Executive Director of Impact Organizations of Nova Scotia (IONS), Annika Voltan, and Sandra McKenzie, Co-founder of The Forge Institute, co-authored a series of short articles to stimulate discussion around sector transformation. They covered the topics of why this sector exists and why people should care, workforce issues, funding challenges and governance and structure. Over the winter, several virtual sessions were held with sector leaders, policy makers, and members of the business and academic community to start to generate ideas for change.
This spring, IONS will be hosting a series of regional community conversations to go deeper in this topic of sector transformation and to hear directly from those working on the ground. What are the structures and models that could lead to thriving organizations and greater impact?
Each interactive, in-person session will be 2.5 hours. The focus of our time together will be on generating ideas for transforming the Community Impact Sector , but will allow time for learning more about IONS work these past few years, 2022 research findings, and networking and collaborating with peers.
We hope you will join us for the session closest to where you live! Once you are registered, additional information will be shared about the venue, timing, COVID-19 protocols, and suggestions for advance reading/listening.
