Serving Nonprofits. Strengthening West Virginia

WVNPA Regional Roundtable: Building Strong Teams - Huntington
2018-05-23 10:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Barboursville Holiday Inn & Suites, 3551 Rt. 60 East, Barboursville, WV, 25504, United States
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.

2022 Spring Regional Meeting - Huntington
2022-05-04 10:00 - 14:30 | 935 3rd Avenue, Suite 340, Huntington, WV, 935 3rd Ave., Suite 340, Huntington, WV, 25701, United States
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the WVNPA has cancelled the in-person Regional Meeting in Huntington and Charleston. We invite you to attend the virtual option on May 12th.
About the Session:
Nonprofits are realizing that executive director transition is a crucial moment in an organization’s life: a moment of great vulnerability, as well as great opportunity for transformative change. Planning for executive director transition is called succession planning: thinking in advance about how to set the stage for a strong transition.
While there is risk in executive transition, there is also tremendous opportunity for reflection, change, and organizational growth. When well planned and considered, leadership transitions can result in significantly stronger organizations.
This succession planning training is designed to give small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations a framework that can be used to prepare for a leadership transition, search for the best candidates, and thrive for years to come. It comes filled with practical advice and tools that will save you time, worry and money.
Participants will receive the following:

a succession planning checklist and timeline;
a list of recommended reading; guiding questions for board members interviewing candidates;
insights directly from others who have experienced leadership transitions; and
templates and sample planning documents so you can avoid reinventing any wheels.

Meeting Agenda:

10:00 – 10:30: Introductions and WVNPA update (Registration begins at 9:30)
10:30 – 12:00: Part 1 of Succession Planning
12:00 – 12:30: Lunch
