No Waiting Collaboradating: Connect to Potential Partners Onsite
 

Workshop Description
Today’s economy demands nonprofits make the impossible possible – do more with less. Are you looking for practical strategies and tools to help you do just that? Collaboration offers organizations an opportunity to leverage existing resources to attain needed ones. Times of limited funding necessitate
innovation and ingenuity if organizations are to do more than simply survive.
This workshop allows participants to go beyond the concept of collaboration and
actually begin the practice of collaboration. Participants will gain a chance to network,
establish the beginnings of collaborative relationships that meet their needs and
walk away with tools to realize those partnerships.

• Determine your organization’s needs and offerings in terms of collaboration
• Participate in agency speed-dates
• Gain strategies to carry out successful collaborative partnerships

Now What... Writing or Revising Your Strategic Plan To Meet the New Reality

 

Is your strategic plan no longer realistic based on current market conditions? Have your funding sources shrunk or evaporated at the same time that need for your service has skyrocketed? Changing times call for a whole new look at your strategic plan.  This interactive workshop provides the structure to review or develop your strategic plan through the lens of surviving and thriving in the current conditions. Participants are encouraged to bring a Board member to enhance the process.

BONUS: The facilitator has offered to review strategic plans and work with participants to update them.

To take advantage of this opportunity, please send your plan to CONNECT by June 4th.
