Description:

The reopening of offices is a complicated process that balances public health, organizational culture, staff wellness, and the adaptation of physical spaces. Join the Ahead of the Curve collaborative for a discussion of reopening nonprofit offices and reimagining our use of space. We will hear from a panel of organizations sharing their experiences with reopening including continued public health concerns, changes to the physical layout of offices, how staff are involved in the decision-making process, and the continuing role of working remotely. Utilizing Zoom breakout rooms, we will create spaces for small groups to discuss and share their resources, ideas, and concerns. Presenters will include: Cause Effective, Support Center, and others TBD.

Please note that this interactive session will utilize Zoom breakout rooms to allow for small group discussions.  This works best when you have the ability to share video and audio and access the video and audio of others.   Resources to be distributed include this guide prepared by the Center for Nonprofits in NJ.

Please indicate the breakout room of interest to you once you register:

1. Physical and operational changes to our space

2. Decision-making around reopening our space

3. Navigating continued remote operations
