SUMMARY:Good Governance for Nonprofits and the IRS Form 990
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation. \nTuesday\, June 9\, 2015\, 9 am–noon\, CraftWorks at Cool Spring\, 1469 Lloyd Rd\, Charles Town\, WV 25414 \nOLIVIA HUTTON is one of our most popular speakers. Since beginning her accounting career at Yount Hyde & Barbour in 1998\, Olivia has focused on providing financial reporting services to nonprofit organizations\, especially private schools\, colleges\, universities and foundations. In addition to conducting audits and reviews\, she has helped clients prepare Form 990\, 990-T and 990-PF informational returns. As a member of the Nonprofit and Governmental Services team\, Olivia has been named a Super CPA by Virginia Business magazine in the nonprofit/governmental field as well as the “Young CPAs” field. \nWorkshop Description\nDuring the past few years\, the IRS brought the idea of good governance to the forefront of discussion among charitable organizations. Sweeping changes have taken place and the IRS Form 990 has been revised in an effort to make certain all nonprofits comply with the law. Why is the IRS worried about governance issues and requiring organizations to report more information on Form 990? What are the primary issues that the IRS cares about? What do these issues mean for you\, your board and your organization? \nPlan to spend a late spring morning with us in Jefferson County at the NET Workshop “Good Governance for 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organizations and the IRS Form 990.” Join CPA Olivia Hutton\, Principal of Yount Hyde & Barbour from 9 am until noon for a discussion regarding what road the IRS (and Congress) may take in enforcing good governance procedures\, and how to protect charitable organizations from IRS good governance examinations. In the end\, this workshop will help you understand the emphasis on good governance and prepare for the more in depth reporting requirements for Form 990. \nLearning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop\, participants will have a better understanding of the emphasis on good governance for nonprofit organizations and be better prepared for the more in-depth reporting requirements for Form 990. \nRegistration: $20 per person \nRegister online: NET Registration Form \nPlease pay via Paypal\, or mail your check to EWVCF\, 229 E Martin St.\, Suite 4\, Martinsburg\, WV 25401.

SUMMARY:Philanthropy WV: Philanthropy’s Ethical Leadership in Economic Crisis
DESCRIPTION:hosted by Philanthropy WV and The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation\nGenerously sponsored by The Maier Foundation\, Inc.  \n[REGISTER]\nA Visit & Guest Presentation with\nRip Rapson\, President & CEO of The Kresge Foundation of Troy\, MI\n(For Mr. Rapson’s full bio\, visit here: http://kresge.org/sites/default/files/Uploaded%20Docs/Rip-Rapson-bio2015.pdf) \nThe progress of any town\, city\, county or state relies on a strong base of sector leadership including Private (business\, industry\, and labor)\, Public (local\, county\, state\, and federal government)\, and Independent (philanthropy and nonprofits).  If these three sectors are strong\, we see economic progress\, civic growth\, and overall quality of life improvement.  When one is weak or collapses\, the others are challenged to step up to lead and assist with a community’s revitalization\, preservation and growth. \nThis role of philanthropy’s ethical leadership\, in WV or elsewhere\, is key in good times and in bad. To demonstrate how the sectors of community-economic development\, government\, business\, and many others can work together for progress\, Philanthropy WV and the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation are thrilled to host Rip Rapson\, President & CEO of The Kresge Foundation. \nMr. Rapson will provide an energizing and insightful breakfast presentation on Thursday\, April 30th at Four Points by Sheraton in Charleston\, WV.  Mr. Rapson will discuss the city of Detroit and the role Ethical Leadership Foundations played in partnering with the private and public sectors to revitalize his community\, region and state. The cost is $20/person for Philanthropy WV/WVNPA Members and $30.00/person for Non-Members. \nHe will share his experiences of recovery from the Great Recession in Michigan\, The Kresge Foundation’s work to bring different sectors together for progress\, and share insights from his time at the McKnight Foundation.  You will be surprised to see that WV and Michigan have in common\, especially as we move our states forward for economic prosperity. \nThis program is part of Philanthropy WV’s 2015 Launching Solutions in the Mountain State Series. \n[REGISTER]

SUMMARY:VolunteerWV: Strength-Based Grant Writing

One participant recently wrote: \nI had the absolute pleasure of participating in your Strength Based Grant Writing Workshop this past October. I cannot express to you how extraordinary and worthwhile I found the entire process.  \nSo far\, my organization has been approved for two of the grants that I have written – there is no doubt in my mind this would not have been feasible without the tools and knowledge I gained through your workshop.” \nCome and join the growing network of nonprofit professionals approaching grant writing from this unique and energizing perspective. Registration is limited to the first 50 people. \nWe will be asking questions such as: \n\nWhat are our organization’s strengths? What can we build on? What makes us unique? How do we use our strengths to get results?\nWhat are our stakeholders asking for? How can we reframe challenges to be seen as exciting opportunities?

SUMMARY:WVU: Ethical Challenges of Social Work Supervision
DESCRIPTION:April 9\, 2015\, 9am-4pm\, WVU-Eastern Division\, Erma Byrd Health Professionals Center\, Multimedia Room\, Martinsburg\, WV  \nEthical Challenges of Social Work Supervision  \nPatricia Chase\, LCSW\, EdD\, Clinical Associate Professor\, WVU School of Social Work \nCEUs: 6 Social Work hours (approved for 6 SW ethics hours); 6 GPC hours (Skill Area: Management); 6 CECNPM hours (Core Area: Human Resource Development – Management) \nRegistration Fee: $65 (Early bird rate of $58.50 by March 20\, 2015) \nTarget Audience:  All levels of practitioners \nEthical practice in social work supervision carries with it a number of familiar and new challenges that can require thoughtful and reflective practice to successfully navigate. Working with power imbalances\, assessing and ensuring worker competence in the midst of high work demands\, managing dual relationships and role changes\, providing useful and meaningful evaluation and feedback\, supporting workers through traumatic critical incidents\, all carry potential ethical dilemmas that are difficult but at least familiar.  Sorting through the ethical conflicts of social networking\, helping workers ethically integrate spirituality into social work practice\, maintaining client service amid diminishing budgets and increasingly complex policy/practice changes are less familiar but equally challenging. This workshop will explore with participant involvement these ethical risks to supervision. Ideas will be shared on how to avoid potential pitfalls as well as possible solutions worth examining. \nLearning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop\, participants will reflect on their own supervisory practices to examine potential ethical challenges that may be inherent in their work; identify social work ethical standards that apply to supervision; gain ideas from fellow participants about how to manage ethical dilemmas they may encounter in supervision; and increase their understanding of the ethical challenges unique to modern social work supervision.

SUMMARY:NPQ Webinar: Executive Transitions
DESCRIPTION:BoardSource\, NPQ\, and Raffa\, P.C. Are Proud to Present . . .\nA Complimentary\, 4-Part Webinar Series on \nExecutive Transitions: Critical Guidance for Boards and Executives (Whether a Transition Is Imminent or Not)\nRecent research indicates that nonprofit CEOs are aging in place—that is\, that approximately 40 percent have been in their jobs for over ten years\, and a majority are over 50 years old. This translates to a significant potential for turnover\, whether planned or unplanned. With that turnover of longstanding execs or even founders come opportunities but also real and serious risks . . . to reputation\, organizational relationships\, and—generally—the sustainability of your organization. \nHow do you find the right match and set the right table so that you can attract and keep the leader your organization needs for its best possible future? \nExecutives should be able to move out of leadership with the strategic and management capacities of the organization robust and vibrant and broadly held. Succession planning and executive transition\, done well\, deliver this. \nThis series of webinars involves some of NPQ’s most expert authors on the issue\, addresses the components of good succession planning and transitions\, from deepening the leadership “bench” to creating exit agreements. \nWebinar #1  The End Game: An Organizational Sustainability Framework for Executive Transitions \nMarch 31\, 1:30–2:30 pm EST \nPresenters: Ruth McCambridge\, Editor in Chief Nonprofit Quarterly and Tom Adams\, Director of Sustainability\, Succession and Transition Planning\, Raffa P.C. \nThis session will define some terms associated with succession planning and executive transition\, and will take a quick look at the variables involved in various scenarios. Additionally\, we will discuss what part succession planning plays in nonprofit sustainability. What are the factors that need to be attended to for the organization not to lose ground during a transition\, and how should these generally be approached? What are appropriate and inappropriate end goals for an executive transition? Among the topics that will be addressed are the role organizational culture plays in transitions and the importance of using the moment to examine your enterprise model\, strategic directions\, and the leadership competencies needed for success. \nYou will be able to sign up for the entire exclusive four-part webinar series: \n\nWebinar #2  CEO Confidential: Making\, Communicating\, and Implementing Your Organizational Exit  (April 28\, 2:30–3:30 pm EST)\nWebinar #3  The Common (and Sometimes Pernicious) Traps in Executive Transitions (May 19\, 1:30–2:30 pm EST)\nWebinar #4  Preparing for the Inevitable: The Board’s Role in Succession Planning (June 16\, 1:30–2:30 pm EST)\n\nMake sure to sign up today\, and NPQ will send instructions on how to join the session!
