Leading Teams, Partnerships, and Collaborations Towards Greater Impact - September 6 & 13th, 2022
Too often strategic planning happens in a vacuum, visions casted, momentum built, plans written -- yet the people directly impacted by the plan (clients, donors, staff, volunteers, community) are left out. This process has led to plans that have failed to meet its full potential. Community engagement, though at times unwieldy and time-consuming, is critical to truly propel all variables towards a common goal. Youāll see that when done well, a snowball effect happens, where the impossible becomes possible. Learn strategies for engaging community stakeholders while balancing organizational/group needs (ie. strategy, mission, resources). Explore ways to leverage your leadership to build a collaborative and sound planning process. Learn more here.

Leveraging Effective Marketing & Communications For Nonprofit Growth - September 7th, 2022
Do your marketing efforts consistently and effectively secure donations, recruit volunteers and build awareness for your organization? Have you been rinsing and repeating the same copy for years? āJoin us and learn how you can devote a limited amount of time to significantly impact the reach and outcomes of your marketing efforts. All too often, we tend to get too close to the story of our nonprofit and forget that others donāt know what we know. We may go down rabbit holes, or well-meaning committees distract or take us off mission in ways that we donāt even realize we have veered off course. In order to maximize success, we must strategically stay on-target and on-mission at all times ā thus highlighting the vital importance of strategic communications for effective marketing.
