Surviving and Thriving during Times of Change

Succession planning is about preparing for the inevitable, a matter of "when" not "if."  Nearly 75% of nonprofit leaders, the majority from the baby boomer generation, are expected to retire or move on in the next few years.  Add to those expected departures are others that are unplanned.  The issue of "who comes next" quickly becomes a concern.
The strong survive, but not by accident.  Strong organizations succeed because they plan.  Strong organizations put the right stuff in place well in advance of the executive director's retirement.

How prepared is your organization to replace its current executive in an emergency or to plan for a transition anticipated down the road?

These three sessions present for discussion the issues and actions that board and staff can take to ensure smooth transition and nurture leaders in all parts of the organization.

Discovering Your Online Audience
Conversations have been happening on the web. People are talking about your organization and the things important to you - even if you're not a part of it. In this session you'll learn how to track down those conversations, listen and begin to participate. We'll look at specific tools and tactics to help get you started, and build social media capacity in your organization, in both rural and urban settings.

Thinking Strategically about the Shiny New Toys
Facebook and Twitter are all the rage and every day new tools and choices launch on the web.  While many tools are 'free', developing competence and capacity using them takes time - perhaps your most valuable resource. Here are some best practice tips to help your team think strategically, and maximize your organization's social media efforts in both rural and urban settings.

Thursday, August 13
Inside Facebook
Facebook has blossomed from the hang-out of choice for college students, to the fastest growing social network for older generations. Facebook has also embraced organizational presences with new features and functionality. We'll look at specifics, how to navigate facebook, and some case studies of effective use. We'll also look at a balanced social media tool investment strategy that doesn't put all of your assets into a single and often fickle "social media du jour basket".
