SUMMARY:Cyber Security 101: Practical Ways to Protect Your Nonprofit from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Three 90-minute webinars\, Thursdays\, July 11 – July 25\, 1 to 2:30 PM Eastern \nRegular Price: $135\nWVNPA Member Price: $115 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code) \nRegister: https://www.idealware.org/training/cybersecurity \nCyber security is an increasingly important issue to the nonprofit community. Financially motivated cyber-attacks are increasing in frequency and nonprofit organizations are now a specific target due to their lack of policies and security training. \nThis webinar series will explore the mechanisms of cyber-attacks and how to protect against them at the organizational level\, steps individual staff members can take to help reduce threats\, and how to assess and plan for improvements in your organization. Designed for small- to medium-sized organizations\, this course will focus on simple\, practical solutions. Finally\, we’ll cap things off with an “ask the expert” session where you can try to stump Tech Impact’s highly experienced consulting team with your security questions. Participants do not need any previous cyber or technical experience to benefit from this course.  It’s designed for people with zero years of experience. \nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place on Thursdays at 1 PM Eastern and last for 90 minutes. \nJuly 11: How Vulnerable Are You?\nCyber-attacks are on the rise. Though they can take a number of different forms\, what they all have in common is the devastating financial and reputational effect they can have on an organization. How vulnerable is yours? In this session\, we’ll focus on identifying the variety of threats nonprofits are facing and look at common habits and practices that make your organization vulnerable to attacks. We will explore how much a security breach can cost your nonprofit and share ways to assess your current risk and exposure. \nJuly 18: Keeping Your Organization Secure\nNow that we have an idea of what kinds of attacks you could be facing\, we’ll move toward keeping your organization secure. In this session\, we will share tips and tricks to boost security using existing software like Microsoft Office\, how to establish security policies\, and the best ways to train your staff about security issues. Depending on the results of your organization’s risk assessment\, it may be worth investing in stronger security measures—we’ll share some of the tools and professional assessment and monitoring services available to help you make the best decision for your needs. \nJuly 25: Ask the Expert\nPerfect security is not attainable—and different organizations will have different needs. In this session\, we’ll offer the chance for you to ask a team of cyber-security experts and consultants specific questions\, and to benefit from their expertise. \nAbout Your Trainer\nAs Tech Impact’s Director of Client Solutions and Education\, Linda Widdop manages all aspects of client relations\, including educating nonprofits about technology solutions. She works with local\, regional\, and national partners to provide the nonprofit community with increased knowledge of technology through speaking engagements\, individual consultations\, and digital content delivery.

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: The Nonprofit Software Implementation Toolkit from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Three 90-minute webinars\, Thursdays\, August 22 – September 5\, 1 – 2:30pm Eastern \nRegular Price: $135\nWVNPA Member Price: $115 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code) \nRegister: http://bit.ly/Softwareimp\n \nIt doesn’t matter how much time\, effort\, and expense you put into selecting the right software for your organization—if you don’t plan all the steps necessary to ensure a successful implementation\, you’re wasting your precious resources. Implementation involves a number of elements\, including getting buy-in from the people who will be using the system and those who lead the organization\, making plans to migrate data and integrate the new software with your other systems\, and training staff on procedures and best practices for using the new software. \nWe designed this new course to help you with each step. We will show you how to make sure you are including all the right people throughout the process. We will help you determine whether you need outside help—and how to work effectively with consultants or vendors. And we’ll identify common mistakes and show you how to avoid them. This course includes “homework” after each session to help you put these lessons into practice\, as well as additional resources for you to take with you to help with your own implementation projects. \nDuring this course you will learn: \n\nWhat a typical implementation project looks like.\nWho is involved.\nHow to adjust for common scenarios.\nHow to keep the project on time and scope\, including best practices for project management and avoiding common bottlenecks.\nHow to work with vendors and consultants.\nWhat common mistakes to expect\, and how to avoid them.\nBest practices for change management and user adoption.\n\nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes. \nAugust 19: Planning Your Implementation Project\nDuring this opening session\, we’ll define what typical implementation projects look like—and what successful ones look like. We will review key software selection techniques to apply\, identify the steps of an implementation project and who should be involved in and outside of your organization\, consider timelines and budgets\, discuss project scope\, and address the process of migrating data from your existing systems. \nAugust 29: Keeping the Project on Track\nIn this session\, we’ll look at examples of common challenges nonprofits face that cause projects to fail\, and introduce project management basics to help you plan your implementation and see it through on time and on budget. We’ll also address relationships with consultants and vendors and how to make sure you’re getting what you need out of them\, and explain how to evaluate an implementation project after completion to make sure everyone involved learns from the experience. \nSeptember 5: Fostering User Adoption\nAfter reviewing the first two sessions\, we’ll discuss the critical role user adoption plays in a successful implementation project and introduce the idea of change management to help ensure your success. We will also look at the importance of training and cultural shifts in user adoption. \nOther Info\nThis course includes weekly homework assignments. Please register with the email address where you would like to receive the access code and dial-in information for the online seminar.

SUMMARY:A Groundwater Approach to Racial Equity from the Racial Equity Institute (Pre-Conference Workshop)

Learn More About the Summit Here  \n*The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation is sponsoring this workshop for their grantees and Volunteer West Virginia is sponsoring this workshop for National Service Staff. \nA Groundwater Approach to Racial Equity illuminates the nature and impact of structural racism and what it looks like across institutions. In this day-long workshop\, trainers from the Racial Equity Institute (REI) will examine narratives around racial disproportionality and make use of compelling research data to illustrate the systemic nature of racism and the fallacy of typical explanations like poverty\, education\, social class\, individual behavior\, or cultural attributes that often get associated with particular racial groups. Before addressing racial inequity or perceived acts of discrimination or oppression it is critical to understand what institutional racism looks like and the devastating impact it wields on our nation’s people\, economy and social institutions. \nIn the morning\, trainers from the Racial Equity Institute will give a presentation on the pervasiveness of systemic racism and describe why a “groundwater” approach is needed. In the afternoon\, after a break for lunch (included in your registration fee)\, we’ll have facilitated discussions to process the morning’s presentation\, examining the relevance to our work and possible next steps.

SUMMARY:From Audit to Redesign: The Complete Nonprofit Website Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:Five 90-minute webinars\, Thursdays Oct. 3 – 31 \nRegular Price: $235\nWVNPA Member Price: $188 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code) \nRegister: http://bit.ly/WebsiteToolkit2019 \nYour website is the face of your organization—but like any familiar face\, you stop seeing it the way others see it. Maybe it’s time to take a fresh look at your site to understand whether your audience and your staff members are getting what they need from it. Over five sessions\, Idealware will help you think through how to develop a more useful and engaging website. We’ll walk you through website basics\, how to lead a redesign project\, best practices for accessibility\, mobile optimization\, content management systems\, technical details\, and online branding. We’ll also talk about how website content works alongside email\, direct mail\, and social media efforts to create an organization’s communications mix. \nDuring this course you’ll:  \n\nAudit your site against a core set of questions.\nDefine goals for how your website will serve your audience.\nLearn best practices for designing an accessible\, usable\, and polished website.\nThink through your content strategy and approach to your site’s design.\nDig into website analytics and how you can use metrics to optimize the user experience for your site visitors.\nReview the technical side of developing and managing your website.\nSynthesize your research\, ideas\, and strategies into a vision that you can share across your organization.\nCreate an action plan and prioritize the steps you will need to take.\n\nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place on Thursdays at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes. \nOctober 3: Starting the Audit Process\nWe’ll kick off the course by helping you define your priorities and set goals. Then we’ll cover how to lead a hands-on website audit while applying web design best practices. We’ll also review strategies for user interviews and surveys so you can see through other people’s eyes what’s working on your website and what needs improvement. And then we’ll spend a substantial amount of time discussing how to synthesize your research\, ideas\, and strategies into a vision that you can share across your organization. \nOctober 10: Defining Your Design and Content Strategy\nA website needs content before it can be useful to your constituents. In this session\, you’ll learn how to define your content strategy\, starting with your homepage. What content should be on it? Who will create it? What content matters most? The design of your site is just as important as the content. We’ll talk about how to assess your graphic design and site navigation and walk you through\, step by step\, how to look at your own site with a critical eye. We’ll also introduce wireframing—a method for visualizing and organizing the structure of your website. \nOctober 17: Fleshing Out an Accessible and Usable Website\nIn this session\, we’ll take a look at the goals and best practices behind core web pages. We’ll also cover website analytics to help you identify what’s working and what isn’t\, search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure that your site can be found on Google and other sites\, and user testing. You’ll also receive a checklist for best practices for usability and accessibility. \nOctober 24: Let’s Get Technical\nWith your strategy and goals defined\, it’s time to get under the hood. In this session\, we’ll cover the technical side of website design\, starting with an overview of content management systems (CMSs)\, which make it easier for nontechnical staff members to create or update website content themselves. We’ll also talk about responsive design and other practices for building mobile-friendly websites. Finally\, we’ll end with a discussion on integrating your website with your database\, online payment tool\, and other systems. \nOctober 31: Defining Your Priorities and Moving Forward\nNow that your strategy is in place\, and you have an understanding of the tools involved\, it’s time to put your plan into action. We’ll start with an overview of the typical website development process\, then talk through how to know whether you need a whole new site\, or just an update to your existing one. If you just need to make updates\, we’ll define a process to map out what updates should go in a first phase\, and then what should come next. We’ll also talk through what you can do yourself and what tasks are best left to a consultant. By the end of this session\, you’ll walk away with an action plan for “quick hits” and an outline for a more substantial project. \nAbout Your Trainer \nKathleen Pequeno\nKathleen has been working with justice movements since the 1980s\, often working at the point of intersection between storytelling and technology. She has volunteered\, worked and consulted with well over a hundred organizations across the United states on issues including racial and gender justice\, family violence\, queer liberation\, education justice\, immigration justice\, the overuse of prisons and jails\, and economic justice for farmworkers. She has built (and rebuilt) scores of websites\, CRMs and email systems as well as supported organizations with media planning and communications strategy. You can read her advice on social justice communications and technology at www.kathleenpequeno.com. \nOther Info\nParticipants will be given optional homework assignments. You can expect to spend one to two hours each week on these assignments. Please register with the email address where you would like to receive the access 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 all the content of the toolkit. \nRegister: http://bit.ly/WebsiteToolkit2019 (Members: Don’t forget to email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code) \n

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Accidental Designer-How to Design Images Like a Pro from Idealware

If you work at a small nonprofit\, chances are you don’t have money to spend on a graphic designer.Fortunately\, anyone can learn enough of the fundamentals of graphic design to create passable materials on their own. Whether you’re creating visuals for your nonprofit’s communications or know nothing about it and are interested in learning about it\, this series will help you gain knowledge and skills you need create interesting and attractive designs. Join us for a three-week course that will walk you through the fundamentals of design and show you how to get started with the right tools. \nDuring this course you will: \n\nLearn about theories of line\, shape\, form\, and space.\nExplore the theories behind why colors affect the way we think and feel.\nDiscover the sneaky importance of typography.\nReview layout dos and don’ts.\nLearn a few basic tricks for using Adobe InDesign.\nFind out about low-cost alternatives to InDesign.\n\nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Thursdays from 1-2:30 PM Eastern. \nDecember 5: The Elements of Design\nYou will begin by learning the ideas behind good design. You will explore how designers use lines\, shapes\, form\, and space as the basic tools for showing depth\, movement\, or other visual ideas. You will learn about the importance of color and how to use it properly. You will see how typography can affect both what the viewer sees and feels within a design. \nDecember 12: Layout in Action\nYou will learn basic principles of graphic layout\, then together we will show you time a design being created in real time\, explaining the thinking and decisions being made during the process. \nDecember 19: Technology Tools\nAdobe InDesign page layout software is the industry standard\, and it’s important that you learn useful tips and tricks for doing basic design work in it. There are alternative software that offer similar functionality and many simpler tools that are free and easy-to-use. You’ll hear reviews of these alternative tools and their strengths and weaknesses. \nWe will send the access code and dial-in information for the webinar to the email address you use to register.  All registered participants will have access to recordings of each session.

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Establishing Tech Policies to Protect Your Nonprofit from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Three ninety minute webinars\, Thursdays\, March 5 – March 19\, 1-2:30 PM Eastern \nRegular Price: $135\nWVNPA Member Price: $108 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code)\nRegister: http://bit.ly/TechPolicies20 \nClear\, concise policies governing the use of technology can help protect your nonprofit against the risks of scams\, malicious software\, and bad data handling practices. Do you have guidelines in place to ensure appropriate staff use of social media? Does your staff know what to do in the event of a natural disaster such as a flood\, fire\, or ransomware attack? How do you manage staff use of phones or computers that mix personal and work data?If you don’t have written policies—and regular training to ensure that people understand them—your organization may face bigger risks than you think. Over three 90-minute webinars\, we’ll walk you through the questions you should consider as you develop policies to protect your nonprofit. \nThroughout this course\, you will: \n\nIdentify the risks your nonprofit faces and the level of risk with which you’re comfortable.\nAsk yourself important questions about what is and is not acceptable use of organization resources and tools.\nLearn to manage people and data to keep your organization safe from malicious attacks and honest mistakes.\nWalk through the pros and cons of whether staff members should use their personal devices for work.\nConsider the ways you can partner with your staff to protect organization data on personal devices.\nReview what you’ll need to do if your office experiences a major disaster such as flood\, earthquake\, or ransomware.\nGain the knowledge you need to write smart policies to protect constituents\, staff members\, and your organization.\n\nPresented by Expert Trainer Joshua Peskay\nJoshua is Vice President of RoundTable Technology\, a technology service provider in in New York and Maine. He’s been helping nonprofits improve their use of technology since the early 1990’s and has worked with more than 1\,000 organizations. He specializes in helping organizations be strategic about their technology and make smart choices about services\, support\, and management. \nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Thursdays from 1-2:30 PM Eastern. \nMarch 5: Acceptable Use and IT Security\nComputers and office software are so familiar it’s easy to assume that everyone knows what’s OK and what’s not. But that false sense of security can cause a lot of problems. This session will help you develop clear guidelines for what is and is not acceptable on organization devices and networks. We’ll also provide IT security tips to guide your policy so that you’re less likely to fall victim to ransomware and other malicious software. \nMarch 12: Bring Your Own Device Policies\nNonprofits and staff members appreciate the convenience of being able to do work at home or on the road using a personal device. However\, without good policies\, the blurred lines between work and personal life can cause issues and put your data at risk. We’ll discuss what to consider as you develop a policy for that’s fair and protects your organization. \nMarch 19: Disaster Recovery\nThe potential for disaster is everywhere. Hurricane\, flood\, tornado\, earthquake—and those are just the big ones. What will you do if your systems are infected with ransomware or someone accidentally deletes important files? What about if your executive director or top IT staff leaves and takes all of their institutional knowledge (and passwords) with them? We’ll walk you through the potential disasters and guide you through developing a plan that will help you get your organization back up and running as quickly and as safely as possible. \nImportant Information\nIdealware will send the access code and dial-in information for the webinar to the email address you use to register. All registered participants will have access to recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the course presentation decks and handouts. \nRegister: http://bit.ly/TechPolicies20 (WVNPA Members: email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code)

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar: Fixing the Rules Governing Government Grants
DESCRIPTION:Governments rely on nonprofit organizations to provide services to individuals at all stages of their lives. Yet\, governments are not always good partners when it comes to reimbursing nonprofits for the costs of providing those services. That could change for the better – and soon. The federal government recently proposed revisions to the primary law governing government grantmaking – the OMB Uniform Guidance – that could result in greater reimbursements for indirect costs\, reduce administrative burdens\, and increase transparency. Many nonprofits are asking: What would these changes mean? Do the revisions go far enough? Is there anything I can do to make things better? Learn more by joining the webinar\, Fixing the Rules Governing Government Grants\, Tuesday\, March 10\, 2020 at 3:00 pm Eastern. This free program is presented by the networks of the National Council of Nonprofits and the National Human Services Assembly. \nSpeakers:\nGil Tran\, U.S. Office of Management and Budget (invited)\nNicole Waldeck\, U.S. Office of Management and Budget (invited)\nAdditional speakers to be announced \nREGISTER HERE

Nonprofit executives and board members often react nervously\, even negatively\, to conversations about succession. If there is a sudden transition in a key leadership role\, lack of succession planning will put missions in danger and organizations at risk. But such transitions also provide opportunities for growth if your organization has a culture of leadership continuity focused on developing the human capital it will need for the future. Third Sector Company and Washington Nonprofits are pleased to offer a three-part webinar series to help your organization build such a culture. At the end\, you’ll have tips and tools to help you start your term with confidence and enthusiasm! \nLearning Outcomes: “The Basics of Nonprofit Succession Planning” will: \n\nFrame succession planning as essential to your organization’s long-term sustainability\nOutline the essential components of an effective succession plan\nPresent five options for beginning your organization’s leadership continuity work\nProvide specific tools and resources to support that work\n\nWho Should Attend: This series is intended for executive directors\, senior staff\, and board members and officers.
