Compassion in Action: A Shared Dialogue

Anne Gingerich, Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO)

During this interactive session with a panel of statewide experts, participants will explore what trauma-informed communities look like, and surface strategies for building them together. 

Anne's Bio: Since 2013, Anne has grown the PANO’s programming and presence in the Commonwealth – offering training, consulting services, and Help Desk (askPANO) support to address all things needed for strong nonprofit governance and management.  She has further deepened nonprofit advocacy engagement by linking arms with other statewide advocacy organizations and the National Council of Nonprofits.  With the support of PANO’s lobbyist, PANO has become a known name at the state capitol, and by members of Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation.  

Anne approaches all her work from a systems approach, engaging multiple individuals and groups to identify and implement collaborative solutions to community problems. She holds a firm vision that if all 817,000 individuals working for the 49,000 Pennsylvania nonprofits can link arms in a cohesive advocacy strategy, we can change the way our government supports and engages with those most vulnerable. 

Anne earned her Bachelor of Arts in Social Work at Millersville University and earned her Master of Social Work at Marywood University. Anne shares her beautiful Victorian home in Lancaster County with her two cats, Steven and Stella, and enjoys cooking, Rails-to-Trails biking, reading, and good coffee.
