Do board members leave board meetings feeling frustrated that there is never enough time to discuss weighty matters in a serious, in-depth manner? Would they relate better with one another if your next meeting were in a more relaxed setting? When is the last time your Board held a retreat?
Take this little test to see how your organization stacks up...
- Do you have a board binder with relevant materials?
- Does each board member have a board binder for themselves?
- Does your board know ALL of its responsibilities and that of each member?
- Can your board distinguish the role of the board from the role of the staff?
- Does your board best categorize themselves as "directors" rather than "managers?"
- Does your board know the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of successful board meetings?
- Is your board working as efficiently and effectively as you want them to?
If you answered NO to any of these questions, then you need our help! We specialize in identifying and implementing a permanent, corrective procedure for the problems listed above and more.
We offer a half-day workshop which will include:
- The retreat meeting, materials
- Preparation time
- The training itself and
- A telephone troubleshooting follow-up consultation.
Planning is a vital skill that your organization’s staff and volunteers must practice on a regular basis, because it forms the basis of most other actions an organization must take. Among other things, it is an important part of setting goals and expectations for employees and volunteer committees, which in turn helps them progress toward achieving personal and organizational objectives.
In our one-day strategic planning course, ejIMPACT will guide you and your board through a concise but comprehensive approach to strategic planning that will enable you to effectively address the near-and long-term needs of your organization. This intensive, practice-driven management training workshop uses interactive exercises and case studies to help you learn to think strategically and communicate effectively while working with various members of your staff and volunteer team.
This workshop will provide an opportunity for you to assess your readiness for a capital campaign. Topics will include project feasibility studies, setting campaign goals, recruiting a campaign team, working with a consultant, managing the campaign and much more. This is an essential workshop for any nonprofit organization that is preparing to raise money for capital.
One of the most important ingredients to a positive capital campaign or a major gifts program is the personal one-to-one "ask". This half day workshop will help you, your staff and your campaign volunteers learn the resources needed for a successful campaign. Remember, people give to people.
This half day workshop will concentrate on the overall relationship between your organization and the corporate community. It will focus on discussing the following questions:
- What services and opportunities does your organization offer that "matches" with the philosophies & marketing needs of potential corporate partners?
- What are the components of a quality sponsorship opportunities package?
- How do we identify and target the best prospects for you to contact and meet with?
- What is the best strategy for approaching a potential funder?
