AJFCA and IAJVS are pleased to announce that Dan Pallotta, American entrepreneur, author, and humanitarian activist will be the opening plenary speaker at the 2014 AJFCA & IAJVS Annual Conference, May 4-6th in Montreal, Quebec. We are confident that Dan will inspire and challenge our attendees and his address will be an amazing kick off to our conference.  Dan is the author of Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential, the best-selling title in the history of Tufts University Press. The Stanford Social Innovation Review said that it "deserves to become the nonprofit sector's new manifesto," and which contributed to a new conversation about economic freedom for the humanitarian sector. His newest book is Charity Case: How the Nonprofit Community Can Stand Up for Itself and Really Change the World from Jossey-Bass. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. described it as "An Apollo program for American philanthropy and the nonprofit sector". His iconic TED Talk, "The Way We Think About Charity is Dead Wrong," has been viewed more than 2.2 million times. He is a William J. Clinton Distinguished Lecturer, and has spoken at Stanford, Wharton, Harvard Business School, Harvard's Hauser Center for Nonprofits, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Tufts University, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Council on Foundations, the Gates Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, and the Milken Institute, among others.
