NEW REALITIES: Nonprofit Public Policy Conferences
HSN has spearheaded three citywide public policy conferences that have united and educated the nonprofit community.
New Realities 3: Building a Healthy Human Service Partnership for San Franciscans, October 24, 2001
HSN's third New Realities conference built on the dialogue and initiatives from previous years to develop concrete steps for improving the partnership between nonprofit human service agencies, the City and the philanthropic community. The conference provided an opportunity to examine the underlying issues and the necessary components of a healthy partnership - a relationship that enables all parties to meet San Francisco's human service needs efficiently and to collaborate effectively. New Realities 3 was HSN's largest conference to date, attracting a sell-out crowd of over 400 attendees.

New Realities 2: Critical Public Policy Issues for San Francisco Nonprofits, June 23, 2000
New Realities 2, which drew over 350 people, focused on nonprofits' major concerns in dealing with the City including contracting, city budgeting, performance evaluations, and the impact of the Bay Area economy on nonprofits.

New Realities 1: Critical Public Policy Issues for San Francisco Nonprofits, May 25, 1999
The first New Realities conference brought together over 250 senior nonprofit staff, foundation officials, and City policymakers to discuss nonprofit advocacy, sunshine legislation, unionization and living wage issues.
