At times human resources management can be reduced to a process of enforcing policies and making sure employees get paid. With revenues sometimes flat-lining\, leaders are charged with bringing on new employees\, rolling out new programs and plans\, and trying to find innovative and effective ways to maximize performance on a shoestring. \nAs nonprofit leaders look to the future\, finding ways to increase employee engagement and organizational efficiency\, and execute best practices will be prominent in strategic plans. This summit will help you understand how to accomplish your mission through a talented and motivated workforce. \nTopics covered include: \n* Employee Engagement\n* Performance Management\n* Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\n* Learning & Professional Development\, and\n* Staffing & Recruitment.

SUMMARY:Practical Leadership 1.0: Cultivating Thriving Supervisory Relationships

Often\, managers are left on their own to try and figure out how to implement their supervisor duties. Unskilled supervision can create organizational cultures that are ineffective at best\, and “toxic” at worst. When supervisors understand the expectations of their role\, they are able to supervise in a way that fosters healthy working relationships with each employee that reports to them. This\, in turn\, creates thriving\, inclusive organizational cultures. \nThis highly interactive virtual training provides participants with immediately implementable tools and strategies. \nThis workshop is one of MCN’s most popular trainings and consistently receives high evaluations. You will receive with tools and ideas that you can immediately implement. \nThis is a six-hour virtual training spread over three two-hour sessions\, November 29\, 30\, and December 1\, 2022 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Central each day. \nTopics\n•    Cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence\n•    Understanding privilege and power in your supervisor role\n•    Holding difficult conversations\n•    Six essential skills of supervision\n•    Coach approach to supervision \nLearning Objectives\n•    Better understand the competencies of the supervisor role and have improved confidence in implementing the role\n•    Cultivate self-awareness and accountability for avoiding toxic behaviors in the work place\n•    Increase comfort at holding a range of conversations\, including developmental feedback\n•    Learn strategies for helping employees solve their own challenges\n•    Build awareness of when to use coaching in the supervisor role\n•    Receive an introduction to the fundamental components of coaching – listening and inquiry \nNote: We also strongly recommend you take Practical Leadership 2.0: Supervising for Team Engagement. While no material is repeated between the two courses\, the curriculum of Practical Leadership 1.0 and 2.0 complements each other. \nEvent Details\nThis session will not be recorded. \nAccommodation information is available on our Registration Policies page. \nVisit our Event & Registration FAQ page for general events information. \nState Association Partners\nThis event is presented in partnership with Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits\, Common Good Vermont\, Maine Association of Nonprofits\, and West Virginia Nonprofit Association. \nSpeaker Information\nLisa Negstad consults with a diverse clientele of nonprofits\, philanthropies\, and government in leadership and organizational development.

SUMMARY:Building the Total Value Budget
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered by GrantStation.\n\nTuesday\, November 15th\, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET\nRegistration Fee: $69 per person\, $159 per group – Between 2-10 people\, on all different devices in different locations\, can view the webinar \nREGISTER NOW\n\n\nA Step-By-Step Framework for Crafting an Unbeatable Project Budget \nAn A+ proposal budget provides an honest\, complete\, and clear picture of the total value of everything it takes to do your work successfully. \nIt also stands as an invaluable management and evaluation tool when it comes to running your grant-funded program. \nSo\, how can you craft this type of budget? That’s the question you’ll explore with Maryn Boess in this down-to-earth\, myth-busting session. \nIn this webinar\, you will: \n\nlearn and practice how to take a “total value” approach to budget-building\, so you can clearly and compellingly show the value of everything it takes to do your work successfully;\nlearn why you should (almost) never plan your proposal budget using the form the grantmaker gives you\, and what you can use instead;\nwork with a real-life scenario to go through each of the six major budget categories\, looking at the key issues and challenges you can expect to run into in each one;\nhave the chance to whip out your calculator and try your own hand at thinking through some of the situations in a real-life scenario;\nget a behind-the-scenes view of how grantmakers evaluate your proposal budget and what your budget tells them about your organization;\nclear away the confusion around the value of volunteer time\, accounting for “match\,” handling administrative/indirect costs\, and other perennially perplexing budget issues; and\,\nbe introduced to a powerful planning tool to help you craft a budget that is comprehensive\, realistic\, and bullet-proof—and that will work for you\, your organization\, and your grantmaking partners.\n\nMost importantly\, you’ll walk away understanding how to break the “starvation cycle” that plagues many nonprofit organizations so you no longer understate the cost and value of your mission-critical work. \nThis webinar is perfect for any project or leadership team member who wants to transform a budget into a rock-solid resource plan that will support your project’s successful implementation. \n\n\nDate\nTuesday\, November 15\, 2022 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions?
