NPO-FAN
The Non Profit Organizations’ Financial Administrators’ Network (NPO-FAN) has been meeting in Tucson since 1995 and in Phoenix since 2004 to unite the leaders and accounting personnel of nonprofit groups. It provides a forum where various speakers, media and topics are used to educate and inform nonprofit groups about ways to improve their organizations, to meet the changing demands of the community and to address new rules and regulations. It acts as a resource for nonprofit agencies to network, share and receive information specific to nonprofit organizations. The group meets at quarterly luncheons hosted by DeVries CPAs of Arizona, P.C.
Members are not charged dues. The cost of the luncheon is $12, payable to DeVries CPAs of Arizona, P.C.
