Engaging Nonprofit Members and Donors Through Storytelling - September 19
Randy Ford | First Story Strategies
Every nonprofit has a story to tell about the work it’s doing. In this session, we’ll get past “storytelling” as an organizational goal and start talking about it as a practical day-to-day tool. “Storytelling” can seem like a board-level buzzword, but we’ll dig into what truly makes stories the most effective form of communication – and how any nonprofit organization can apply those story principles to communicate more powerfully with their donors and members. Make sure you have a notepad so you can start planning your organization’s storytelling strategy during this workshop.

Human Resources is grounded in the practice of taking care of your #1 resource: your people. However, for nonprofits with small budgets and less resources, maintaining good HR practices can be tricky. Whether it’s the Executive Director or the Office Manager or some combination of the two, the organization should prioritize a few key HR practices: onboarding, tracking leave, maintaining records, and fostering a healthy organizational culture. In this session, former nonprofit executive director turned nonprofit consultant, Ginny Waller, will offer solutions to the small HR shop challenges.
