WVNPA Regional Roundtable: Building Strong Teams – Martinsburg

May 16, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

The spring regional meetings have a new look this year!

They are a bit shorter: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. They include some quality programming in the morning, a networking lunch, and roundtable discussions in the afternoon. Our goal is to provide a forum for nonprofit leaders to share their challenges in a supportive setting and find ways to collaborate with their peers.

As nonprofit leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure that our teams – whether staff, board of directors, or volunteers – are running efficiently and are fully supporting the mission of the organization. Building strong teams is one of the best things we can do to promote organizational growth and groom current and future nonprofit leaders.

But have you ever felt overwhelmed by the prospect of having to manage group dynamics amidst organizational needs? We have goals to monitor, budgets to mind, partnerships to enhance, and initiatives that require collaboration. Not to mention interpersonal relationships! If you have team members who have tunnel vision, lack strategic goals common to the team, have minimal accountability strategies in place, suffer from poor internal communication practices, or simply want to learn the skills needed for developing effective teams, then this regional meeting is for you!

And, as a bonus, plan to renew and refresh by spending the lunch hour networking with your peers. Then participate in afternoon roundtables – a lively discussion of your team’s challenges, ways to apply principles and techniques you learned in the morning session, or seek peer-to-peer consulting on any other issue relevant to the sector or your organization’s needs.
