TOPIC:  Nonprofit Strategic Planning

DESCRIPTION:  This workshop is geared to Board of Directors and Executive Directors for all nonprofits.  It will be an overview of the components of a strategic plan for nonprofits and how to customize a strategic plan to the reality of their organization and the reality they can have for their future.  Strategic Plans are living documents to be utilized daily, reviewed at each board meeting and incorporated in all board and staff decision making.  Tips and tools will be provided on how this all comes together to create a successful implementation that increases capacity and funding.

But, if you are a member of a non-profit and your board of director members cannot attend, consider attending on their behalf.

Oct 11    Lunch & Learn - Larimer Health Connect
Tuesday, October 11, 12:00 p.m. Lunch-n-Learn
(please bring your lunch)

On August 2nd, our County Commissioners will most assuredly vote to place this initiative on the November Ballot.  

Larimer County needs a new detox, mental and behavioral health facility.
  Currently, over 75,000 Larimer County citizens are unable to receive the care they need due to inadequate public facilities even though Larimer County is one of the leading places to live in the US.
 
People are often jailed or taken to the emergency room which costs tax payers far more than traditional behavioral and mental health services. The closest Detox facility is in Greeley which is Weld County.
 
The initiative which is part of the long-term strategic plan for Larimer County will build a $20 million facility between Loveland and Fort Collins to address Mental Health needs of adults.  Since this involves a tax increase of .25 on $100, it needs to be taken to the voters.
