Lutheran Financial Managers Association Reimagined 2021 Conference:

Bringing you the Magic of Finance

November 7-9, 2021 – Grand Cypress Hotel – Orlando, FL

As nonprofits navigate challenges impacting sustainability, daily operations, staff security and physical and mental health, there is no better time to reimagine the LFMA conference. In our 42nd annual conference, we are expanding our sessions and inviting nonprofits across the country to join.
While not all of us who work with numbers have the personality of famous financial gurus like Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey or Warren Buffet, we are making good on our promise to bring a fresh, fun, new perspective to our industry by combining magic with finance.
If you are the CEO, CFO, or a leader in the Finance Department of your non-profit, you don’t want to miss this conference! We have a robust and impactful schedule of sessions for you. Check out the schedule of events below as we put the final touches on our annual conference, which is shaping up to the best one yet!

Who Should Attend?

Nonprofit CEOs, CFOs, Financial and Risk Management teams

Keynote – Anything is Possible

Giovanni Livera

10:45 – noon Giovanni will take us on a journey from the limitations of conventional thinking into a world where thinking like a magician makes anything possible.
