SUMMARY:Engaging Boards in Fundraising during these times
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nSuccessful fundraising remains the number one challenge for most nonprofit Board members. Even if given the tools many still hesitate\, so why is it difficult for most Board members to engage in fundraising? Fundraising isn’t just about knowing the techniques to ask. Yes\, there is some science to it but in the end\, it’s all about people. (Bet you thought I was going to say relationships). Bringing donors and the organization together is the ultimate goal\, but we don’t talk about how you fit into this picture. The most important person in the whole equation is yourself. You are the one who is asking\, so your relationship with the ASK is crucial. Self-Awareness is the missing link for anyone who’s ever had trouble applying skills they’ve tried to learn or doing the things they know they should to get ahead. Although it takes a few months for the inner shift to occur\, this session is to start thinking to open the inner work\, so the outer work is not met with resistance. It provides a rewarding foundation for Board engagement in fundraising. \nIn this workshop\, participants will:\n\nHow self-awareness leads to mindset which affects your views and outcomes of fundraising\nHow beliefs prevent board members from engaging in fundraising.\nHow you need the 3 keys to engage in fundraising successfully\n\nLearning Goals:\n\nRecognizing your own mindset to fundraising and its impact\nHow beliefs are holding your Board back\nLearning the journey of steps to the 3 keys to fundraising\nHow to engage at board meetings so members can be aware of their beliefs and value to the organization.\n\nLearn more about our certificate programs! \nFacilitator:\n \nSonia Saleh has worked both in the for-profit and not-for-profit world. During her hospitality career\, she served as a board member for national\, regional\, and local nonprofits. All this experience and knowledge has given her the unique expertise and understanding of both executives and board members serving nonprofits. She uses these gifts to teach\, train\, and coach executives and board members of nonprofit organizations in fundraising. She has her own company\, Uplifting Nonprofits\, and has created a course called “Unleash your Inner Fundraiser” that helps individuals optimize their fundraising efforts while doubling their fundraising results. The course is a combination of new thinking with brain science and learning how to move beyond your comfort zone\, to cultivate your own personal style to attract and build relationships to benefit you and the organization. She speaks 3 languages Arabic\, French\, and English\, and travels regularly\, except for now. She lives to travel and eat potato chips. \n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n  \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Strategic Planning: Creating A Roadmap for Uncertain Time
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR \nCertificate Program: Executive Leadership \nDescription: \nA good strategic plan helps you create a shared vision for the future that is grounded in your values and realized through your mission. A plan with clear and elastic strategies can help you keep your eye on the prize no matter what happens along the way. At its best\, strategic planning is a reflective and collaborative process that lets you step back from day-to-day responsibilities and think about where you want to be in 3-5 years and what you need in order to get there. It results in a set of overarching goals with realistic strategies for achieving those goals. A successful strategic plan is supported by a detailed development and implementation plan with a series of objectives and tactics that together create a blueprint for the future. \nThe successful completion of a strategic planning process can result in: \n\nClear mission statement;\nCompelling vision for the future that will excite and engage all stakeholders;\nStatement of core values to guide short-term and longer-term decision making;\nShared understanding of the strategic issues facing your organization and a set of goals\, strategies and initiatives that will address those issues;\nA deep understanding of the external philanthropic\, programmatic\, political\, and economic trends that impact your field;\nA roadmap for financial sustainability and diversification utilizing traditional and entrepreneurial income generation;\nA dynamic communications and marketing strategy;\nAn assessment of the infrastructure and human resources needed to achieve and sustain successful growth; and\nRealistic performance measures designed to assess your impact as you implement the plan.\n\nA thoughtful and inclusive planning process will also ensure: \n\nBuy-in for the plan from the board and staff; and\nInterest in the plan and support from external stakeholders including funders\, partners and allies.\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will: \n\nLearn about best practices in strategic planning and how to articulate strategic questions to guide the process.\nLearn how to assess internal strengths and weaknesses\, external opportunities and threats\, and how to use that information to shape goals.\nLearn how to engage board\, staff and other stakeholders in the planning process.\nDiscuss how to develop an RFP that will help you find the right consultant.\nReview the average costs of strategic planning.\nLearn how to monitor and adapt plans going forward.\nParticipate in a conversation about the challenges of strategic planning – time\, cost\, incorporating planning into day-to-day activities\, etc.\nLearn what makes a plan a viable\, living document – not something that sits on a shelf gathering dust.\n\nLearn more about our certificate programs! \nFacilitator:\n \nFrank Abdale is the Founder and Chief Consultant of Abdale Consulting\, LLC.

In this session we will provide you with some key actions you can take to get ahead of the game and also to keep your stakeholders engaged. \nStakeholder Identification and Engagement \n\nAsking Good Questions\nGenerating Buy-in\n“Drafting” a Steering Committee\n\nTaking Inventory \n\nWhat’s working and what needs improvement\nStrengths\, Weaknesses\, Opportunities\, Threats (SWOT)\nProgram Assessment – Impact Profitability Matrix\n\nExternal Environment \n\nTrends – Needs and Funding\nCompetitive Landscape\nPartner Potential\n\nReexamining / Creating your Mission\, Vision\, Values \nPrioritizing Your Actions \n\nThis includes checking the current conditions to see if your team is ready for a full-on Strategic Planning cycle\n\nWho should attend: \nThis workshop caters to those with no experience in strategic planning and those in need of a review of the processes and latest techniques.

SUMMARY:Building and Maintaining an Enthusiastic Board
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR \nDescription: \n“What is the link between nonprofit boards and sustainability\,” you might ask. The answer is leadership. Leadership isn’t simply something an organization comes by\, nor is it a static quality that once developed\, stays forever. Leadership is a resource in need of development\, management\, and a clear picture of drivers and motivators. The best boards look to the future and develop leadership as a sustainable resource. Doing so ensures that the board continuously adds qualified new members to its roster and keeps them engaged. Board building shouldn’t just happen when it is time to fill a vacancy; it should be an ongoing\, year-round process. \nApplying rules of sustainability to the topic of board development\, this webinar guides participants through a process that focuses on the different steps needed to build an effective board that is sustainable over the long term. Understanding these steps can help boards avoid the common ups and downs of building and maintaining an enthusiastic board. \nFacilitator:\nGilles Mesrobian is an Affiliate Consultant at Support Center. He is also on the faculty of Bard College’s MBA in Sustainability where he teaches Personal Leadership Development working with MBA students to develop leadership competencies utilizing a personal mastery approach. \nHis professional credentials include over 26 years of senior management experience in the nonprofit arena\, with nearly 20 years as an Executive Director. His consulting experience covers a broad range of organizational work in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector\, including executive leadership transition\, organizational assessment\, executive search\, strategic planning\, and leadership development. \nIn addition to his consulting work\, Gilles facilitates several leadership training programs including the New York Power Authority’s MBA program and the New York Foundation for the Arts’ year-long leadership program\, funded through the American Express Leadership Institute. \nEmail wo*******@*****************ne.org with any questions!  \nREGISTER HERE\n\nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:$ Breathing Room $: 90 Day Cash Plan for the Stressed Agency
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR \nDescription: \nHow can you get enough cash for payroll? Many Executive Directors and Board Chairs are awake at night as they worry about pay\, depressed as they terminate valued staff\, and feeling guilty that they did not foresee the need for more cash. Even the best nonprofit planners were not planning for a once-in-a-100-year event. Some nonprofits are pushed to the limit. \nDoes this sound like your challenge? NonProfits are complex so this may not be your worst nightmare. \nFor those who are nodding yes\, would 90 days of cash give you breathing room? \nThis workshop offers 15 sources of nonprofit cash. The goal is to get you cash for 90 days so that you have breathing room to make a plan for a quick win in the 2nd 90 days and a sustainable plan after that. Participants receive two tools to calculate the 90 day cash need and 15 possible sources to pull everything together. \nFacilitator:\nDr. Ron Tompkins is leader of Social Sector Coaching for the Scaling Up planning system. He is also CEO/Executive Director of 82nd Street Academics. His diverse training includes the Ph.D. in Education\, MBA\, and Management Accounting.

SUMMARY:Building Your Board's Accountability through Self Assessment
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR \nMaximize Impact through Board Accountability \nAs a part of a nonprofit board\, you have the responsibility to your community to be an effective leader and steward of measurable\, sustainable impact. Over the past decade\, nonprofits have made remarkable strides in demonstrating impact to their stakeholders. In fact\, our ability to effectively evaluate and measure our work has become the standard for success. \nEven though most boards recognize that they are responsible for helping set the culture of performance evaluation within their organizations\, surprisingly few have extended that culture to their own governance functions. So while many nonprofit boards do a great job assisting in the evaluation of their organization’s programming\, few view the measure of leadership as a critical indicator of a nonprofit’s success and sustainability. \nBoard assessment is part of a long term strategic approach for improving and sustaining leadership in an organization. Like all leadership development\, it should be done regularly and incorporated in every strategic plan. There are many tools available\, but assessments should cover all areas of good governance\, including demographics\, legal and financial compliance\, a review of board practices\, strategic planning\, funding\, and communications.  \nIn this webinar we will explore strategies that you can utilize to implement board assessment as part of not only your short-term goals but as an integral facet of your long-term strategy of leadership development that should ideally be multi-generational\, meaning it spans numerous board terms.  \nFacilitator:\nGilles Mesrobian is an Affiliate Consultant at Support Center. He is also on the faculty of Bard College’s MBA in Sustainability where he teaches Personal Leadership Development working with MBA students to develop leadership competencies utilizing a personal mastery approach. \nHis professional credentials include over 26 years of senior management experience in the nonprofit arena\, with nearly 20 years as an Executive Director. His consulting experience covers a broad range of organizational work in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector\, including executive leadership transition\, organizational assessment\, executive search\, strategic planning\, and leadership development. \nIn addition to his consulting work\, Gilles facilitates several leadership training programs including the New York Power Authority’s MBA program and the New York Foundation for the Arts’ year-long leadership program\, funded through the American Express Leadership Institute. \nEmail wo*******@*****************ne.org with any questions!  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Strategic Planning: Creating A Roadmap for Uncertain Times
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR \nCertificate Program: Executive Leadership \nDescription: \nA good strategic plan helps you create a shared vision for the future that is grounded in your values and realized through your mission. A plan with clear and elastic strategies can help you keep your eye on the prize no matter what happens along the way.

It results in a set of overarching goals with realistic strategies for achieving those goals. A successful strategic plan is supported by a detailed development and implementation plan with a series of objectives and tactics that together create a blueprint for the future. \nThe successful completion of a strategic planning process can result in: \n\nClear mission statement;\nCompelling vision for the future that will excite and engage all stakeholders;\nStatement of core values to guide short-term and longer-term decision making;\nShared understanding of the strategic issues facing your organization and a set of goals\, strategies and initiatives that will address those issues;\nA deep understanding of the external philanthropic\, programmatic\, political\, and economic trends that impact your field;\nA roadmap for financial sustainability and diversification utilizing traditional and entrepreneurial income generation;\nA dynamic communications and marketing strategy;\nAn assessment of the infrastructure and human resources needed to achieve and sustain successful growth; and\nRealistic performance measures designed to assess your impact as you implement the plan.\n\nA thoughtful and inclusive planning process will also ensure: \n\nBuy-in for the plan from the board and staff; and\nInterest in the plan and support from external stakeholders including funders\, partners and allies.\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will: \n\nLearn about best practices in strategic planning and how to articulate strategic questions to guide the process.\nLearn how to assess internal strengths and weaknesses\, external opportunities and threats\, and how to use that information to shape goals.\nLearn how to engage board\, staff and other stakeholders in the planning process.\nDiscuss how to develop an RFP that will help you find the right consultant.\nReview the average costs of strategic planning.\nLearn how to monitor and adapt plans going forward.\nParticipate in a conversation about the challenges of strategic planning – time\, cost\, incorporating planning into day-to-day activities\, etc.\nLearn what makes a plan a viable\, living document – not something that sits on a shelf gathering dust.\n\nLearn more about our certificate programs! \nFacilitator:\n \nFrank Abdale is the Founder and Chief Consultant of Abdale Consulting\, LLC.
