WEBINAR

Description:

A leader’s communications – in actions and words – are critical during crises. Team members, employees, and clients all need clear, honest, and timely communications. Leaders play a critical role in stopping rumors and limiting misinformation. Key stakeholders (employees, clients, and partners), need timely information and should not be sheltered from then truth. They strongly desire knowledge about the organization’s future: where it’s heading, what its economic future looks like, and what its leaders see as the short- term plan to get the organization through tough times.

Join us for an interactive web meeting to explore:

• Critical elements of communication to keep everyone on the same page
• What “good communication” looks like.
• Actions leaders can take to limit rumors and misinformation.

Who should attend:

• Nonprofit CEOs and Executive Directors
• Nonprofit Board Leaders
• Senior Leaders in Nonprofit organizations
• Nonprofit Development & Communications Leaders
