The Alliance Welcomes Day 1 Keynote, Vu Le!How Nonprofits Can Own Our Awesomeness and Unleash Our Full Potential to Create a Just and Equitable World  We’re excited to announce that nonprofit leader and advocate Vu Le will be the keynote speaker for our 2021 Annual Conference! Vu Le (“voo lay”) is a writer, speaker, vegan, Pisces, and the former Executive Director of RVC, a nonprofit in Seattle that promotes social justice by developing leaders of color, strengthening organizations led by communities of color, and fostering collaboration between diverse communities. Vu’s passion to make the world better, combined with a low score on the Law School Admission Test, drove him into the field of nonprofit work, where he learned that we should take the work seriously, but not ourselves.Known for his no-BS approach, irreverent sense of humor, and love of unicorns, Vu has been featured in dozens, if not hundreds, of his own blog posts at NonprofitAF.com.
