Additional Information
Event details
Strategic planning is often seen as a time-consuming or resource-heavy process — but for many small nonprofits, it can begin with simple, focused conversations about what matters most.
This practical workshop invites nonprofit leaders to step back from day-to-day operations and think more intentionally about their organization’s direction. Participants will explore accessible tools and approaches to help clarify priorities, align board and staff leadership, and identify goals that support stronger decision-making.
