In 2006, a group of eminent Los Angeles professional service providers to nonprofits, led by Chapman and RBZ, Inc., joined to form the Nonprofit Advisory Council (NAC). NAC’s mission is to serve the nonprofit industry in Southern California in order to enhance stakeholder success through the development of professionals serving the nonprofit market who bring their skills, experience, and contacts to the Council. NAC identifies services most needed by nonprofit organizations, develops resources to meet those needs, and presents them to stakeholders in an educational and informational format. 

The NAC presents four educational forums annually to nonprofit professionals. These seminars are designed to provide timely information, access to our board members, and an opportunity for networking with peers and colleagues. We welcome suggestions for future topics and speakers of interest to the nonprofit community.

NAC members meet monthly to plan and develop the agendas for upcoming educational forums. Information regarding attending these forums will be posted on the Seminars page of this site.
