Upcoming Nonprofit Network Sessions:
May 15th Nonprofit Network: Future-Proof: Navigating Uncertainty with Confidence
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Non-profit leaders are no strangers to challenge—but today’s environment of economic instability, shifting government policies, and rising community needs demands more than resilience; it demands foresight. This empowering session introduces scenario planning, a strategic tool to help organizations anticipate change, prepare for multiple outcomes, and make bold, values-driven decisions in the face of uncertainty. You’ll learn how to design flexible budgets, stress-test your strategies, and lead with clarity even when the path ahead is unclear.
Your budget is more than numbers—it’s a declaration of mission and a framework for action. Join us to gain practical tools, fresh perspective, and renewed confidence to lead your organization through whatever tomorrow may bring.
