SUMMARY:Support Center Accelerator Series: The Leadership Edge
DESCRIPTION:Support Center is hosting a series of four workshops in three locations across NJ (Newark\, Piscataway\, and Moorestown – see below for dates and times) that address critical issues in the nonprofit sector: succession planning\, attracting and retaining ‘investors’\, capturing and communicating mission impact\, and integrating organization assessments into strategic planning.

There will also be opportunities for follow-up sessions to integrate what you have learned with your peers. \nSession 1: The Leadership Edge: Reducing Organizational Risk through Leadership Development and Emergency Succession Planning \nOngoing\, thoughtful\, and intentional leader development and emergency succession planning are important to securing the mission of any nonprofit organization and reducing the risks of leader transitions. Too often\, the day-to-day imperatives of our work take so much of our attention that even our best leaders don’t take the time to plan approaches that could reduce the risk that organizations experience when they lose critical leadership. Both organizational and personal disasters can occur if good planning is not in place. Most importantly\, Executive leader succession planning is a key Board responsibility that includes preparing for an emergency\, a temporary absence\, or a planned departure with minimum disruption. \n\n\nCHECK OUT OTHER LOCATIONS AND DATES! \nPiscataway \nRutgers Business School: 100 Rockafeller Rd\, Piscataway\, NJ 0885 \nNovember 22\, 2019 \nNewark \nPSEG: Room 101 Conference Center: 80 Park Pl\, Newark\, NJ 07102 \nNovember 25\, 2019 \nMoorestown \nHorizon Retail Center\, East Gate Square Shopping Center 1680 Nixon Drive\, Moorestown\, NJ \nDecember 16\, 2019

SUMMARY:Grammar and Writing Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:HALF DAY WORKSHOP \nDescription: \nToday\, we’re all writers\, and good writing is still valued\, especially in nonprofit settings. But most of us never learned “that” from “which\,” “who” from “whom\,” or when to use hyphens and long dashes. In a state of information overload\, having a great working knowledge of grammar and style can help you make sure your messages are heard. This workshop will help you strip your prose of redundancy\, jargon\, and dead words and become your own best editor. It will include a Top 10 list of grammar mistakes that nearly everyone makes\, provide an overview of the major style guides\, and help you communicate clearly and effectively. Real-life examples and hands-on exercises reinforce the ideas presented. \nFacilitator:\nBarbara Kancelbaum is the deputy officer for marketing and communications for Henry Street Settlement. Previously\, she worked as a consultant specializing in media relations and publications for nonprofit organizations. She is the creator of the Writing in Style: Grammar for Grownups series of writing workshops\, targeted at nonprofit organization staff members. Her clients have included New York University College of Nursing\, Arcus Foundation\, Metis Associates\, Columbia Law School\, Cardozo Law School\, and Health & Disability Advocates. Previously\, she was the communications director of the U.S. office of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières. Barbara serves on the board of the Reproductive Health Access Project and was the organization’s chair from 2007 to 2013.

SUMMARY:Support Center Accelerator Series: The Leadership Edge
DESCRIPTION:Support Center is hosting a series of four workshops in three locations across NJ (Newark\, Piscataway\, and Moorestown – see below for dates and times) that address critical issues in the nonprofit sector: succession planning\, attracting and retaining ‘investors’\, capturing and communicating mission impact\, and integrating organization assessments into strategic planning. The series will begin in November 2019 and run through May 2020. \nWho should attend?! New Jersey-based nonprofit CEOs and Executive Directors\, Board Members\, and Senior Staff are all encouraged to attend all of the sessions\, and multiple persons from one organization are especially welcome! It is also an option to register only for those sessions of interest to your organization. The sessions will include short lectures\, small group activities\, opportunities to ask questions\, useful hand-outs\, case studies\, and fun! There will also be opportunities for follow-up sessions to integrate what you have learned with your peers. \nSession 1: The Leadership Edge: Reducing Organizational Risk through Leadership Development and Emergency Succession Planning \nOngoing\, thoughtful\, and intentional leader development and emergency succession planning are important to securing the mission of any nonprofit organization and reducing the risks of leader transitions. Too often\, the day-to-day imperatives of our work take so much of our attention that even our best leaders don’t take the time to plan approaches that could reduce the risk that organizations experience when they lose critical leadership. Both organizational and personal disasters can occur if good planning is not in place. Most importantly\, Executive leader succession planning is a key Board responsibility that includes preparing for an emergency\, a temporary absence\, or a planned departure with minimum disruption. \n\n\nCHECK OUT OTHER LOCATIONS AND DATES! \nPiscataway \nRutgers Business School: 100 Rockafeller Rd\, Piscataway\, NJ 0885 \nNovember 22\, 2019 \nNewark \nPSEG: Room 101 Conference Center: 80 Park Pl\, Newark\, NJ 07102 \nNovember 25\, 2019 \nMoorestown \nHorizon Retail Center\, East Gate Square Shopping Center 1680 Nixon Drive\, Moorestown\, NJ \nDecember 16\, 2019
