SUMMARY:Tactical Technology Planning

You’ll learn how to answer such questions as\, how often should you replace computers? What networking equipment should you buy? What kinds of systems should you use for file sharing and collaboration?  \nSession 2: Data Management\nYou don’t need to be a data scientist in order to make smart decisions that lead to better outcomes for your nonprofit. Here we’ll cover what it means to be a data–informed organization\, along with tools and platforms to help you. Most importantly\, we’ll help you learn how to make sense of data and how to use it to strengthen your organization.  \nSession 3: Technology for Digital Marketing\, Outreach\, and Fundraising\nWhether you are trying to raise money\, educate\, recruit\, or persuade\, technology can help. A nonprofit’s digital communication toolkit includes its website\, email strategy\, social media platforms\, messaging\, and reporting. In this session\, we’ll cover how to create effective communication goals that can determine your strategies and tactics. We’ll also review your website functions and structure\, email tools and strategy\, and social media use.  \nSession 4: Technology for Program Service and Delivery \nIf you’re in the habit of thinking of technology as a back-office utility\, it’s time to consider the many ways it can directly help you advance your mission. In this three-part lesson\, we’ll cover ways to use technology to increase your reach to people in remote areas or who struggle with barriers to receiving services in person; using prompts and feedback mechanisms to enhance experiences; and connecting communities together.  \nSession 5: Technology Strategy and Governance\nTechnology strategy and governance is the way you align technology decisions and practices to your organization’s mission. Strategy relates to the way you align technology decisions to your organization’s mission through roadmaps and blueprints of your overall approach to technology. Governance refers to practices and policies that state how technology should be used. In this session\, we’ll cover elements of both strategy and governance\, including budgeting and planning\, policy creation and staff training\, and supporting technology use.  \nSession 6: Creating Your Tactical Technology Plan\nNow that we’re covered the five main areas of technology in nonprofits\, you’ve likely identified multiple projects and improvements you want to make. In this last session\, we’ll provide frameworks to help identify essential projects and ways to prepare yourself and your project for funding requests. At the end\, you’ll put the final touches on your Technology Action Plan and review your next steps. \nWho should take this course?\nThe course is primarily designed for small– to medium–sized nonprofits at a low–to–medium level of technology maturity. However\, organizations of all sizes and stages have benefited from this experience. If you have any questions about whether the course is right for you\, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \nTo get the most out of your training investment\, we recommend having two people from your organization participate\, including the person with primary responsibility for technology and the person who has authority to approve technology expenditures and changes. Allow up to two and a half hours of each homework after each session.  \nAudience\nAccidental Techies\, Executives who approve tech  \n  \nAbout Our Instructors\nEric Leland\nFounder and Director\, FivePaths \nEric Leland has spent 15 years working with progressive organizations and businesses tackling online and offline technology challenges.

SUMMARY:Building Better Boards: A three-part series for Board Leaders & Executive Directors Session 3
DESCRIPTION:This series is offered in partnership with the Maine Association of Nonprofits.\n \nIncreasing Board Engagement: Governance as Leadership\nTuesday\, October 6\, 2021\, 1:00 – 2:30 PM \nFortifying the Board-Executive Director Partnership\nTuesday\, October 27\, 1:00 – 2:30 PM \nWho’s Next: Proactively Navigating Successful Leadership Transitions\nTuesday\, November 9\, 1:00 – 2:30 PM \nRegistration Information:\nSingle Sessions:\n$49 Members/$69 Nonmembers\, $20 off additional registrations from the same team (applies to both members and nonmembers).  Click HERE to register. \nDESCRIPTION: \nWe’re excited to welcome back international governance consultant Susan Meier to lead this three-part series for board leaders and executive directors as a chance to collectively discuss the various challenges nonprofits face in board development and how to overcome them by fostering a healthy board culture built on trust\, candor\, and mutual respect. Participants can register for single sessions or the entire series. You will find intended audiences within each session description specific to current and future board leaders and executive directors. Attending as a team is highly encouraged for maximum benefit; discounts on multiple registrations from the same organization. \nSession #3: Who’s Next: Proactively Navigating Successful Leadership Transitions \nNovember 9\, 1pm-2:30pm EST \nStrong leadership is integral to our ability as nonprofits to be adaptive and responsive in advancing our missions. Leadership transitions are inevitable\, and yet we rarely prepare for them and we seem surprised when they ‘suddenly’ appear. By avoiding the topic\, one challenge is simply traded for a different one and a prime opportunity to strengthen the organization is missed. It’s time we reframed the conversation and shift the mindset about succession planning to one of deeper sustainability planning. \nJoin us for this interactive session to explore emerging practices in both executive and board leadership transitions. How are these processes different in the nonprofit sector vis a vis the corporate sector? What is the role of the executive director in succession planning? How do we ensure that our practices and procedures are culturally sensitive? Are we intentionally cultivating diverse candidates for leadership opportunities?   \nIn this session\, we will: \n\nExplore important considerations of nonprofit leadership transitions and change management\nDeepen our understanding of the promising practices and emerging trends regarding executive succession planning\nIdentify concrete steps to better cultivate board members for leadership roles\nDiscuss lessons learned about what to do and what not do to increase the chances of a healthy\, smooth\, and positive transition\n\nWho should attend Session #3 \nThis session is for current and future Board Leaders and Executive Directors interested in using succession planning as a strategy to ensure the sustainability of their missions. Discounts on team registrations! \nLearn about Session 1. \nLearn about Session 2. \nRegister for Session 3 HERE or for the entire Series HERE. \nPRESENTER BIO: \nSusan Meier\, Principal at Susan Meier and Associates\, LLC and Senior Governance Consultant with BoardSource\, brings over 30 years of governance and nonprofit experience to her work.
