SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar - Building a Powerful Grants Strategy for 2015
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will take participants through the process of establishing a grants calendar for the next 12 to 18 months. Fast-paced\, and filled with action steps\, Cynthia Adams\, CEO of GrantStation\, will discuss how to design and adopt a Grant Decision Matrix before beginning the process of building a specific grants strategy for each project. All participants will also receive a set of worksheets that they can use to create their own approach to building an overall grantseeking strategy for their organization. This webinar is for beginning\, intermediate and advanced grantwriters. \n75 minutes\, plus 15 minutes for questions and answers. \nAbout the Presenter \nCynthia Adams has spent the past 40 years helping nonprofit organizations raise the money needed to do their good work. Many of her early efforts centered on raising funds to set aside wilderness areas in Alaska. In 1990 she started her first company\, the Alaska Funding Exchange. This endeavor served as the testing ground for a national company\, GrantStation\, which opened its Internet doors in the fall of 2001. Cindy built this business because she believes that grantseeking requires a thorough understanding of the variety and scope of grantmakers and sound knowledge of the philanthropic playing field. Her life’s work has been to level that playing field\, creating an opportunity for all nonprofit organizations to access the wealth of grant opportunities across the U.S. and throughout the world. \n\n\n\n\nSell Tickets through Eventbrite\n\nFor those registering online\, we apply a 8.5% convenience fee to cover the processing cost of providing this service to you.   We still accept standard registrations by check to do so please download the form and send in payment for this event in advance. \nMail-in registration form

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!
