"Now, more than ever, protecting nonprofits and donors during tough economic times requires the commitment and attention of all nonprofit leaders and regulators throughout the country. With that theme in mind, the National Association of State Charities Officials (NASCO) and the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) will be hosting its annual conference for nonprofit leaders, regulators, policy makers and academics on Oct. 4 in Silver Spring, Maryland." -Eric Carriker, NASCO President
