Self reflection does not come easily to most people or most organizations. Yet, we know that to be at the top of our game, we need to be clear and rigorous about our goals, analyze our process and our achievements and go back and do it over and over again. Further, we recognize that for an organization to be a winner, everyone must share the same expectations and be committed to the same outcomes.  This now becomes even more important when we face a serious economic crisis that affects how we operate and what we can afford to do. 

During this FREE webinar, we will examine the five questions you must answer to create a plan to weather this storm. These are:
  • Who are the right people and how do you involve them?
  • What is truly your core mission?
  • What are essential programs and services and how do you know they are effective?
  • Are all staff created equal?
  • How can you stretch your dollar?

Who Should Attend?
  • Senior staff and board members of nonprofits who are facing resource challenges
