Program Sustainability & Strategy: A Practical Guide to Long-Term Success with Heidi Holtz

In this 2-hour, interactive, workshop we will center on the Nonprofit Sustainability Mindset developed by Jeanne Bell and Steve Zimmerman. The model allows for nimble, flexible approaches that organizations need to look at programs (including fundraising programs) with two bottom lines: Mission Impact and Profitability. Through this process an organization can map where the programs land and determine how to approach their long-term sustainability. Organizations will find it valuable to bring an understanding of their programs and overall budget detail.

Zoom link will be sent to your email at least 24 hours prior to the session.

Effective Delegation for Supervisors: Unlocking Your Team's Full Potential with Amy Kohut

Our organizations are built to do good work in the world, and there's a lot to do. How do we effectively manage all our work and the work of our team for the greatest good? Have you thought to yourself 'If I don't do it, it won't get done right'? Effectively delegating is much more than giving people tasks to do, it's about being clear together on outcomes, timelines, accountability, and measures of success.

You will:

• Learn how to delegate tasks effectively and set clear expectations, commitment, and accountability-Understand how to identify the right people for the job and build trust within your team
