Plan on joining guest speaker, Linda Akey with CANDO (Competent Assistance for Nonprofits), for our next in a series of "The Non-Profit Luncheons". This event is co-sponsored by the Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce and the Berthoud Community Library District.
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 for 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.
