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.

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.
