Executive Workshop Series
This initiative is designed to improve capacity within community organizations through leadership team education. Developed from results of the HCA Foundation's pilot risk study, these four, half-day workshops center on topics that can help nonprofits and their leadership meet challenges in the present economic landscape. Topics include financial management, business continuity and disaster planning, board engagement, and IT strategic planning.
On March 21, 2012, over 75 nonprofit CEOs, CFOs, and Board Members participated in a workshop on Financial Management and Governance. Financial reporting, cash management, and the role of the board were touched on during this latest installment of the Executive Workshop series.
The Center for Nonprofit Management opened their doors for this event at their new downtown offices on Peabody Street.
Our December 1, 2011 workshop focused on Board Engagement. To download information presented by Susan Decker, a Senior Governance Consultant for BoardSource, click below!
