SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar: An Alternative to State Unemployment Insurance with Thornburg Insurance and First Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:Almost all employers are required to pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI). For-profit employers have only one option and that is to participate in the State Unemployment Fund where premiums are collected via the State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) as a risk pool. That means if your organization does not have high unemployment claims\, you may be subsidizing other organizations including for-profit employers that do have high claims. With the West Virginia economy\, the state budget deficit and unemployment claims expected to rise\, we strongly suggest you join us for this webinar and evaluate if Thornburg Insurance Agency and First Nonprofit can bring you a better solution to the State Unemployment Tax. \nAbout the Presenters: \n\nJoe Stanton serves as the Vice President of Thornburg Insurance Agency. Joe holds a bachelor of science degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a certificate in Business Management Foundations from Marshall University. He is married to Shonda Stanton\, Head Softball Coach at Marshall University and they have been blessed with three amazing children. \nMarshall Whittey is a graduate of University of Nevada\, earning a B.S. with a concentration in Elementary Education. In his role\, Marshall works directly with First Nonprofit’s program partners\, insurance brokers\, members\, and prospective members around the country. Prior to joining First Nonprofit in 2010\, he had a background in sales\, sales management\, and project management. Marshall also maintains Property & Casualty insurance licenses and utilizes his experience in the insurance industry to introduce the value of risk transfer alternatives. He travels extensively\, educating our insurance agent & broker network\, presenting seminars\, and meeting with individual employers and their representatives about the options available in managing their unemployment insurance obligations. \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Nonprofit Data for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Three 90-minute webinars\, Thursdays February 8\, 15\, and 22.  \nTo make smart decisions about the future of your organization\, you need a clear understanding of your organization’s activities and the outcomes they achieve. But where can you find the data and how do you make sense of it all? Nonprofit Data for Beginners\, presented in partnership with Idealware\, is a three-week course that will show you how to ask important questions\, find the right data\, and use the information to strengthen your organization. \nRegular Cost: $120 \nWVNPA Member Cost: $95 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for the discount code) \nREGISTER HERE \nThe term “big data” gets used (and misused) a lot\, making it seem scary and expensive. But bigger isn’t always better. Gathering the right data—and knowing how to use it—is what matters. \nJoin us for Nonprofit Data for Beginners\, a three-week course designed to help you ask the right questions\, find the data you need\, and use your data to strengthen your organization. \nThrough participation in this course\, you will: \n\nConsider what questions you need your data to answer.\nLearn how to define your goals and develop processes for collecting your data.\nExplore the many places where you can find useful data.\nLearn how to manage your metrics and data so that they remain useful over the long term.\nDive into case studies of real organizations using data to make decisions.\n\nToolkit Schedule: \nAll sessions take place Wednesday at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes. \nFebruary 8: Asking the Right Questions\nSimply collecting data is not enough. Deciding early on what you will do with that data—and why you want it in the first place—will help you to define goals and approaches. We’ll talk through how to define your organization’s own data-based metrics strategy from the ground up. \nFebruary 15: Hunting Down the Data\nMore often than not\, the most useful data won’t be found already neatly laid out in a spreadsheet. You might find extremely valuable data in handwritten staff notes\, in multiple software systems\, or public repositories. We’ll discuss where different data can live\, which sources of data might be useful\, and where and how you can collect it to be ready for analysis. \nFebruary 22: Making Use of Your Data\nIn the final course\, we will discuss the various ways you will need to manage and use the data you’ve collected. We’ll consider the logistics of entering\, storing\, and maintaining your data. We’ll also look at how to develop an action plan that ensures your data program is useful and sustainable. \nOther Info: \nParticipants will also be given weekly “homework” assignments. \nPlease register with the email address where you would like to receive the access code and dial-in information for the online seminar. All registered participants are granted access to the recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the toolkit presentation decks and handouts. \nREGISTER HERE
