Why Attend
Some days we get so caught up in the present fires, we forget future visions. Join Eileen and Seth as they guide you through establishing a shared vision of your preferred future. This session will help leaders and board members take the data they know–community assessments, family feedback, PIR, funding levels–add it to their daily experience, and turn it into a call to action for a better tomorrow. This interactive training and planning session focuses on the critical steps to creating the foundation for a strategic “planning and doing” culture in the changing nonprofit economy.
