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. Also\, be sure to add training@idealware.org to your contacts to ensure meeting details do not get caught in your spam folder.

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. She has worked in the computer industry for over 30 years in a variety of roles\, including manufacturing\, retail sales\, and extensive technology training experience\, and holds a Masters of Education degree from Arcadia University. \nOther Info\nEvery session and demo will be recorded and available to individuals who have registered for the course.

Disrupting Race-Based Inequities in Well-Intentioned Nonprofits. \n*You must register for each webinar separately. \nMay 22\, 12-1:30 pm\nPART 1 – Register Here: Key moments in United States history have established whiteness as the default\, the norm\, the supreme culture.

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Generational Giving Strategies from Washington Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:The WVNPA has partnered with Washington Nonprofits to offer some of their programming to our members for a discount. WVNPA Members only pay $30 for this webinar series! Email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for the discount code. \n*NOTE: This webinar series takes place from 3:00 – 4:00 PM EST on each date. (The 12:00 – 1:00 PM time is PST) \nTwo 60-minute webinars\, Tuesdays\, June 4 and June 11\, 2019. \nREGISTER HERE \nFundraising is about getting to know your donors’ values\, beliefs\, and experiences. Knowing and understanding their generational tendencies (i.e. Matures\, Baby Boomers\, Generation X\, Millennials\, and Generation Z) is one way to help build stronger relationships. Learn the characteristic differences between each generation and how to build upon those in your development and communications plan implementation. Develop your events to target audiences and segment your appeals to speak the language of your donors. For example\, why send a direct mail piece to a Millennial\, if they don’t have a checkbook? We will talk about social media platforms too\, and how to effectively boost your donor engagement. Our world keeps changing and as nonprofit organizations we need to be nimble and continue to adjust our approach\, staying true to the fundamental rule of fundraising: it’s all about the people. \nLEARNING OUTCOMES:\nYou will leave this workshop with: \n\nKnowledge about each of the five generations and their tendencies to apply to your own donor data\nFundraising strategies to address each generation in a targeted way\nNew ideas on how to engage your audience through different social media platforms\, with a generational lens\nReasons why personalizing and segmenting your donor development and communications activities by generation will yield deeper relationships with your donors.\n\nAll sessions take place Tuesdays from 12:00pm to 1:00pm Pacific Time. All sessions will be recorded and the recordings will be made available to all registered participants. Participants who are unable to attend one or more of the sessions will still have access to all course materials. \nABOUT THE PRESENTER: \nRebecca Zanatta\, Partner & Vice President\, Ostara Group\nRebecca loves philanthropy. She has spent her career in nonprofit management teaching people the value of relationships. Her philosophy focuses on people and putting the why first. Spending time with family and seeking adventure through travel is where you will find her when she isn’t trying to better the world through the power of philanthropy. Participating in community is an important value of Rebecca’s work.

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar: Telling Your Story Through Blogs\, Photos and Videos from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 9\, 1 to 2 PM Eastern. FREE!\n \nREGISTER HERE \nHow do you convey the great work your organization is doing with blogs\, photos and videos? These tools are powerful ways to share the difference you’re making in the world. We’ll cover the principles of good storytelling\, look at examples and research about what’s working for nonprofits\, and then discuss the tools that can help you put them online.  \nMeet Our Expert Trainer\n\nMaureen Wallbeoff\, Founder MeetMaureen.com \n \nMaureen says: “My career path brought me into my first nonprofit job at Planned Parenthood of Connecticut back in 1991\, and hooked me on nonprofits for life.  When the first wave of business technology burst on the scene in the early 90s\, I was entranced.  Many hours of self-directed learning time were spent figuring things out on my own\, and then teaching others. As the resident accidental techie in my organization\, I was an innovator.  I also woke up in a cold sweat\, worrying that I would make a mistake that might bring problems to my organization (or worse\, my own career).  I was making it up as I went along\, because there were no trusted resources for me to turn to. In late 2007\, I joined several business partners and opened the doors to Firefly Partners – a strategic digital marketing agency for nonprofits.  As Vice President\, I created the initial systems\, processes and client-focused culture\, and directed a team of twenty designers\, developers and strategists to deliver websites\, campaign strategies\, and optimization services on dozens of platforms. I can show you a better way to prepare for and use technology.”\n \nImportant Information\n\n\nPlease register with the email address where you would like to receive the access code and dial-in information for the online seminar.\nPlease add training@idealware.org to your contacts to ensure meeting details do not get caught in your spam folder.\nIf you do not receive a confirmation email within a day of registration\, please let us know.\n\nPlease manually update your calendar to account for the correct time of each session (1 PM Eastern).\nAll registered participants are granted access to the recordings of each session.\n\nAbout Our Sponsor\nThis webinar is free thanks to the generous sponsorship of Keela.

SUMMARY:The Nonprofit Social Media Toolkit from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Six 90-minute webinars\, Wednesdays\, April 3 – May 8 \nRegular Price: $255\nWVNPA Member Price: $215 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code) \nRegister: https://www.idealware.org/training/sm_toolkit_2019/\n \nYou’re on social media. Now what? Don’t just be on social media. Be successful on social media. Join us for The Nonprofit Social Media Toolkit and\, over five weeks\, learn how to get real value from your efforts and convert “likes” into engagement\, information sharing\, activism\, and donations. We’ll explore using social media for branding\, deep engagement\, and fundraising. We’ll also outline how you can integrate and manage social media within a campaign\, and then discuss how to measure your social media impact. Sound policies will also be important to your social media strategy—we’ll show you how to clearly articulate what content is acceptable and how you should communicate with constituents through social platforms.   \nThrough participation in this course\, you will:  \n\nCreate and reinforce your organizations’ brands using social media. \nLearn about strategies for engaging supporters and motivating them to act.\nLearn how social media tools can work together to create an integrated campaign that promotes brands and causes through multiple channels. \nBegin the process of creating a social media policy for your organization. \nLearn how to use social media for fundraising. \nDiscover tools to measure social media efforts\, and learn to make this task effective and manageable. \nDesign a social media strategy.\n\n\nToolkit Schedule  \nApril 3: Branding Through Social Media\nWe’ll kick off with the concept of branding through the lens of social media. We’ll take a detailed look at creating\, refining\, and managing your brand message and personality. This session will also explore how what you say and how you say it affects how your organization is perceived by others.  \nApril 10: Getting Beyond the Like: Using Social Media to Cultivate Deeper Commitment\nPeople “like” you on Facebook\, but what is that actually doing to support your organization’s bottom line? We’ll talk critically about how to move constituents up the engagement ladder from a simple “like” to tangible results\, such as signing petitions\, attending events\, joining movements\, and even donating. Armed with case studies\, industry research\, and plain old common sense and experience\, we’ll show you how to get more value from social media and use it to cultivate deeper commitments.  \nApril 17: Integrating Social Media Channels (and Other Communications)\nCommunications don’t exist in a vacuum. You need to consider not only how your different social media channels work together\, but also how messaging stays consistent across other online channels\, such as email and websites\, and offline channels such as direct mail\, general press\, and advertisements. Which channels are best for which kind of communication? Which channels encourage action? We’ll provide a decision-making structure to help you define what makes sense for you and a model to articulate your own communications strategy.  \nApril 24: Getting Started with Social Media Fundraising\nSocial media may be good for sharing photos or important new stories\, but can it really help you raise money? We’ll outline how social media can bolster your fundraising efforts and look at a few organizations that have had success fundraising through social media.  \nMay 1: Measuring Your Social Media Efforts\nWhat happens when your posts go out? How do you know that the time you’re putting into social media is worth it? We’ll walk through the basic social media stats. We’ll also discuss the tools that can help you gather data\, analyze your strategy\, strengthen what works\, and change what doesn’t.  \nMay 8: Creating a Social Media Policy\nYour social media channels are your organization’s public voice. As transparency and two-way conversations become the norm\, many organizations are racing to develop social media policies that govern who does what\, what’s OK to say\, and how to handle sticky situations. Even more than simply legislating these details\, the process of creating such a policy can help your organization engage in important discussions that will strengthen your culture and better position you to take advantage of tools and opportunities. We’ll explore why the process (not just the product) is so important\, how to make these conversations productive and strategic\, and why a social media policy is an important milestone of digital maturity.  \nAbout Your Trainer\nChris Tuttle provides online engagement strategies for nonprofit charity organizations by combining his experience as a community organizer with a background in technology and website development to offer a unique expertise in constituent relationship building\, marketing and online technologies. With over 15 years experience\, he’s helped more than 100 local\, national\, and international nonprofits develop online engagement strategies involving social media engagement\, website development\, email communications\, integrated fundraising\, advocacy campaigns\, marketing/advertising\, content development and search engine optimization.   \nOther Info\nEvery session and demo will be recorded and available to individuals who have registered for the course. A weekly email will include access information for the recordings collected that week. Please register with the email address where you would like to receive the access code and dial-in information for the online seminar. Also\, be sure to add info@idealware.org to your contacts to ensure meeting details do not get caught in your spam folder. All registered participants are granted access to the recordings of each session.

SUMMARY:FREE WVNPA Webinar: Learn More About a Potential WVNPA Health Insurance Program (Session 2)
DESCRIPTION:*Note: This webinar and the Session 1 on March 18th will share the same information\, so please register to attend the session that best fits your schedule. \nIn 2017\, President Trump signed an executive order that directed the Department of Labor (DOL) to consider issuing regulations that would permit more employers to form Association Health Plans (AHPs) as a way to expand access to more affordable health coverage. Last year\, the DOL released a final rule that gives small businesses more freedom to join together as a single group to purchase health insurance in the large group market through AHPs. This webinar is the first step in exploring the opportunity to formulate an Assocation Health Plan for the WVNPA and to gauge interest of our members and potential members. We hope you will join us along with Joseph Stanton of Thornburg Insurance Agency to give you an introduction to this idea and talk about next steps.
