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:Government Grant Reforms: What Nonprofits Need to Know to Be Reimbursed for Indirect Costs - Charleston
DESCRIPTION:This is a free training for nonprofits on OMB Uniform Guidance. \nGood news came to nonprofits in December 2014\, when the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published the Uniform Guidance governing government grants and contracts for nonprofits that receive federal grant funds\, either directly or passed through state and local entities. Among many changes in the rules\, governments are now required to reimburse nonprofits for reasonable indirect grant and contract costs (also called “overhead”—but you’ll find out why that’s inaccurate) when federal dollars are part of the funding stream—even when the federal money first passes through state and local governments. Since most state and local grants and contracts contain federal money\, the benefit for nonprofits can be substantial.\nBeth Bowsky\, Policy Specialist\, Government-Nonprofit Contracting at the National Council of Nonprofits and one of the country’s leading experts and advocacy voices on this issue\, will provide a hands-on review of key elements of the new Guidance and how your organization can start benefiting from these rules. \nWorkshop Highlights:\n•    Indirect\, Overhead and Administrative Costs – Definitions and Difference\n•    Understanding the Costs in Your Nonprofit\n•    Indirect Cost Rates and Different Methodologies\n•    Whether and How to Negotiate a Federal Indirect Cost Rate\n•    Public policy implications\n•    And more \nWho Should Attend?\n•     Nonprofit executive directors and CFOs with state or federal grants/contracts and any nonprofit staff with responsibility for budgeting\, accounting\, or grant/contract compliance. \nPresenter: Beth Bowsky is the Policy Specialist for Government-Nonprofit Contracting at the National Council of Nonprofitd (NCN) where she manages the NCN’s program to promote fairer and simpler contracting processes and procedures across the country. Beth has a passion for convening diverse groups of people from the public and private sectors to expand the capacity of charitable nonprofits to deliver better services and value. Her career in the nonprofit arena began while she was earning a degree in social work at the University of Cincinnati. She was one of the youngest people in Ohio to become executive director of a multi-service\, nonprofit agency\, and served as Chair of Public Policy for the Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies. Beth’s work as president of her own consulting firm included helping the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund reorganize and streamline collaborative funding efforts in each of the state’s 88 counties. As a National Leadership Consultant for Arlington\, Va.-based National Alliance On Mental Illness (NAMI)\, Beth assisted state organizations across the country build and implement strategic plans for growth\, governance\, and advocacy\, while also serving as a speaker and trainer at state and national conventions. \nParking Information

DESCRIPTION:The Power of a Good Story: Simple Communications Strategies to Help Your Organization Make New Friends and Influence People \nProgram Description: Smart storytelling and effective content strategy is the key to helping\norganizations of all kinds tell their story\, amplify their successes and grow their audiences. This\nworkshop will focus on practical\, real world strategies to use communications to create connections\nwith new supporters and funders and create fruitful partnerships beyond the immediate reach of your existing network. \nAbout the Presenter: Jake Lynch is the Director of Network Communications at the West Virginia Community Development Hub. Jake Lynch joined the Hub in 2015 following a 15-year career in community journalism and nonprofit communications.  West Virginia’s trail and recreation community may know Jake from his previous role with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy\, where from 2010 until 2014 he led the national trail development organization’s media and marketing efforts.  Telling the stories of America’s trail communities was a natural progression from his work as a journalist and newspaper editor here in the United States and in his native Australia.  At The Hub\, Jake’s experience in tapping into what interests and motivates community members and leaders is being put to good use in our efforts to generate a broad and powerful narrative about the terrific community development work being done in West Virginia.  Jake’s focus is very much on boosting the communications capacity of the wide network of Hub partners across the state and creating new and innovative ways to help the community development sector use communications to expand their impact. \nPANELISTS: \nDavid Emke: Editor\, The Journal \nJames Hersick: Founding Partner and Creative Director\, Native Design and Brand Communications \nCecelia Mason: Staff Writer\, Shepherd University Office of University Communications \nSandy Sponaugle: CEO & Founder\, Platinum PR \nContinuing Education Credits: \nWVU School of Social Work Continuing Education Certificate in Nonprofit Management – 1 hour – Core Area: Resource Development – Special Topic in Resource Development\n1.25 hours Electives/Special Topics \nSPONSOR:
