Future-Proofing Your Organization with Betsy Cohen | November 19, 2025 | 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM

About this event:

Join Commerce Trust, The William T. Kemper Foundation, and The DeBruce Foundation

for a special lunch gathering of nonprofit leaders from across the Kansas and Missouri region.

We’re welcoming Betsy Cohen, Philanthropic Futurist with FutureGood, for a dynamic and practical session designed to help nonprofit leaders prepare their organizations to thrive in times of uncertainty.

Future-Proofing Your Organization: Thriving in Uncertain Times

In an era of relentless disruption—political instability, AI-driven workforce shifts, climate crises, and economic inequities—nonprofits face immense pressure. Many are focused on day-to-day survival rather than long-term resilience.

Betsy will guide a conversation on how to move from crisis management to future-building—sharing tools and insights to help you:

 • Identify key trends shaping the nonprofit sector
 • Build resilience and adaptiveness within your organization
 • Use futurism tools to create bold, forward-looking strategies that ensure your mission thrives in the years ahead
