SUMMARY:Ask An Expert With First Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, we started a new program just for our members: Ask an Expert. Similar to ‘the doctor is in’ or ‘office hours’\, this member benefit offers our members an opportunity to connect with WVNPA business consultant members with ‘nonprofit know-how.’ Participants will be able to ask questions and receive clarification in areas such as insurance\, law\, communications\, IT issues\, organizational management\, leadership\, fundraising\, and more via phone consultation. \nYour Expert:  Marshall Whitey of First Nonprofit. Nonprofits paying into the state unemployment tax pool for unemployment insurance are being grouped with all other employers in West Virginia\, paying higher costs to help offset costs for those other employers. First Nonprofit specializes in helping West Virginia’s nonprofits learn more about how they can take control of their unemployment insurance costs through alternative programs. To learn more\, schedule your one-on-one consultation. \n In his role of Regional Sales Director with First Nonprofit\, Marshall works directly with our 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. \nRegister: There are six 25-minute conference call “appointments” available with Marshall on May 8 from 1 PM – 4 PM. These are only available to our members and there is no cost. Registration is first come\, first serve. To sign up\, email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org or call 304-419-0465. \nIn registering for this event\, you are consenting to appear in photographs and videos recorded at the event and consenting for these photos and videos to potentially be used in future marketing efforts. You are also consenting for your evaluation responses to be used in future marketing efforts.

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:Webinar Series: What's White Got to Do With It? Part 1 from the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:Join the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits for the 2-part webinar\,\nWhat’s White Got To Do With It? 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. This webinar will explore the socio-political and historical contexts of whiteness and how the white dominant culture by which most nonprofits operate was constructed and has been upheld through policy\, legal decisions\, and Eurocentric cultural values. Participants will have a chance to explore their own roles as gatekeepers within their organizations and how they can disrupt race-based inequity by leveraging their own individual and collective power. \nJune 5\, 12-1:30 pm\nPart 2 – Register Here: Take a deeper dive into the extent that white dominant cultural tendencies have been internalized and operationalized within our nonprofits and the role that gatekeepers have in perpetuating or disrupting non-inclusive practices and policies. We’ll explore tactics that unite your staff and board in prioritizing equity and looking at the organization’s work and culture through a racial equity lens. \n$35 for WVNPA Members\, $50 for nonmembers \n REGISTER! (WVNPA Members: Enter “West Virginia” as your referrer in the box labeled “How did you hear about this webinar?”) \nDon’t forget to register for each webinar separately. \nThis webinar is part of the Center’s initiative\, Walking the Talk: Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion in North Carolina Nonprofits\, to address racial and generational leadership gaps in the nonprofit sector and the policies\, practices\, and culture that exacerbate them. \nAbout the Presenter \nCourtney Parker West (she/her/hers/ella) is a consultant\, writer\, community organizer\, and educator.
