Strategic Planning Essentials:
Every organization needs to plan, but sometimes implementing the plan is a challenge. In this webinar Linda Lysakowski will focus on the steps necessary for developing a workable strategic plan and how to involve the right people in the planning process.
The discussion will also include methods for avoiding "Analysis Paralysis," assuring that
your plan is a living, breathing, vital part of your organization. The webinar will be held Thursday, November 5, 2009. Visit the website listed above to register.
Building a Dynamic Grantseeking Calendar for 2010
Too often we prepare grant proposals just because the opportunity appears on our doorstep. Too seldom do we develop a calendar that builds a comprehensive grantseeking schedule around a set of projects identified and blessed by our boards. In this webinar Cynthia M. Adams will teach participants how to establish their own grantseeking calendars for the coming year. The webinar will be held Monday, November 9, 2009. Visit the link listed above to register.
