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. He believes that Chaos is always weaker than Plans\, and Diversity solves intractable problems and brings joy! He is Managing Partner and Principal Coach of TurnAround NonProfit Coaching (www.taconsulting.live) and coaches nonprofit teams who have not seen the success and stability that they deserve. \nMallory Tompkins is the Chief Learning and Partnerships Officer for 82nd Street Academics and a member of the Vistage Executive Network. She is certified in Strategic Planning and Classroom Assessment. Her work with nonprofits began as an After School student in a church basement attending a program that was supported by neighbors of the community. As time went on\, she moved in to teaching and on to school leadership. She led funding initiatives to spread the mission of the school across five other locations. Her work has continued to develop in advocacy for the nonprofit community\, including Pay Equity for community based PreK and universally funded after school programs. She aspires to uplift leaders to be confident and happy with a measurable vision for their impactful work in our communities. \nEmail wo*******@*****************ne.org with any questions!  \nREGISTER HERE

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.

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.
