SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Establishing Tech Policies to Protect Your Nonprofit from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Three ninety minute webinars\, Thursdays\, March 5 – March 19\, 1-2:30 PM Eastern \nRegular Price: $135\nWVNPA Member Price: $108 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code)\nRegister: http://bit.ly/TechPolicies20 \nClear\, concise policies governing the use of technology can help protect your nonprofit against the risks of scams\, malicious software\, and bad data handling practices. Do you have guidelines in place to ensure appropriate staff use of social media? Does your staff know what to do in the event of a natural disaster such as a flood\, fire\, or ransomware attack? How do you manage staff use of phones or computers that mix personal and work data?If you don’t have written policies—and regular training to ensure that people understand them—your organization may face bigger risks than you think. Over three 90-minute webinars\, we’ll walk you through the questions you should consider as you develop policies to protect your nonprofit. \nThroughout this course\, you will: \n\nIdentify the risks your nonprofit faces and the level of risk with which you’re comfortable.\nAsk yourself important questions about what is and is not acceptable use of organization resources and tools.\nLearn to manage people and data to keep your organization safe from malicious attacks and honest mistakes.\nWalk through the pros and cons of whether staff members should use their personal devices for work.\nConsider the ways you can partner with your staff to protect organization data on personal devices.\nReview what you’ll need to do if your office experiences a major disaster such as flood\, earthquake\, or ransomware.\nGain the knowledge you need to write smart policies to protect constituents\, staff members\, and your organization.\n\nPresented by Expert Trainer Joshua Peskay\nJoshua is Vice President of RoundTable Technology\, a technology service provider in in New York and Maine. He’s been helping nonprofits improve their use of technology since the early 1990’s and has worked with more than 1\,000 organizations. He specializes in helping organizations be strategic about their technology and make smart choices about services\, support\, and management. \nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Thursdays from 1-2:30 PM Eastern. \nMarch 5: Acceptable Use and IT Security\nComputers and office software are so familiar it’s easy to assume that everyone knows what’s OK and what’s not. But that false sense of security can cause a lot of problems. This session will help you develop clear guidelines for what is and is not acceptable on organization devices and networks. We’ll also provide IT security tips to guide your policy so that you’re less likely to fall victim to ransomware and other malicious software. \nMarch 12: Bring Your Own Device Policies\nNonprofits and staff members appreciate the convenience of being able to do work at home or on the road using a personal device. However\, without good policies\, the blurred lines between work and personal life can cause issues and put your data at risk. We’ll discuss what to consider as you develop a policy for that’s fair and protects your organization. \nMarch 19: Disaster Recovery\nThe potential for disaster is everywhere. Hurricane\, flood\, tornado\, earthquake—and those are just the big ones. What will you do if your systems are infected with ransomware or someone accidentally deletes important files? What about if your executive director or top IT staff leaves and takes all of their institutional knowledge (and passwords) with them? We’ll walk you through the potential disasters and guide you through developing a plan that will help you get your organization back up and running as quickly and as safely as possible. \nImportant Information\nIdealware will send the access code and dial-in information for the webinar to the email address you use to register. All registered participants will have access to recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the course presentation decks and handouts. \nRegister: http://bit.ly/TechPolicies20 (WVNPA Members: email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code)

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar: Fixing the Rules Governing Government Grants
DESCRIPTION:Governments rely on nonprofit organizations to provide services to individuals at all stages of their lives. Yet\, governments are not always good partners when it comes to reimbursing nonprofits for the costs of providing those services. That could change for the better – and soon. The federal government recently proposed revisions to the primary law governing government grantmaking – the OMB Uniform Guidance – that could result in greater reimbursements for indirect costs\, reduce administrative burdens\, and increase transparency. Many nonprofits are asking: What would these changes mean? Do the revisions go far enough? Is there anything I can do to make things better? Learn more by joining the webinar\, Fixing the Rules Governing Government Grants\, Tuesday\, March 10\, 2020 at 3:00 pm Eastern. This free program is presented by the networks of the National Council of Nonprofits and the National Human Services Assembly. \nSpeakers:\nGil Tran\, U.S. Office of Management and Budget (invited)\nNicole Waldeck\, U.S. Office of Management and Budget (invited)\nAdditional speakers to be announced \nREGISTER HERE

Nonprofit executives and board members often react nervously\, even negatively\, to conversations about succession. If there is a sudden transition in a key leadership role\, lack of succession planning will put missions in danger and organizations at risk. But such transitions also provide opportunities for growth if your organization has a culture of leadership continuity focused on developing the human capital it will need for the future. Third Sector Company and Washington Nonprofits are pleased to offer a three-part webinar series to help your organization build such a culture. At the end\, you’ll have tips and tools to help you start your term with confidence and enthusiasm! \nLearning Outcomes: “The Basics of Nonprofit Succession Planning” will: \n\nFrame succession planning as essential to your organization’s long-term sustainability\nOutline the essential components of an effective succession plan\nPresent five options for beginning your organization’s leadership continuity work\nProvide specific tools and resources to support that work\n\nWho Should Attend: This series is intended for executive directors\, senior staff\, and board members and officers. Funders and others interested in supporting effective leadership transition will also benefit. \nCOURSE OUTLINE: \nPart 1: Understanding Succession Planning\nWednesday\, March 11\, 2020 | 3:00pm – 4:00pm Eastern Time\n \nThis session will frame succession planning as a key aspect of mission success and sustainability\, lay a conceptual groundwork for the culture of leadership continuity\, and demonstrate that there are multiple options for beginning the leadership continuity process. After completing this session you will understand and be able to discuss with others the critical need for succession planning in your organization. You also will know the essential components of an effective succession plan and will be equipped to assess your organization’s leadership continuity landscape. \nPart 2: Creating the Conversation and Contingency Planning\nWednesday\, March 18\, 2020 | 3:00pm – 4:00pm Eastern Time\n \nThis session will examine the first two options you may consider for beginning the succession planning process. It also introduces two important lenses through which succession planning should be viewed: emotion and the relevance of diversity\, inclusion and equity. After completing this session\, you will be able to facilitate generative discussions about leadership continuity\, and prepare in concrete ways for unexpected leadership transitions. \nPart 3: Succession Planning Through Policy\, HR Practice\, and Strategic Planning\nWednesday\, March 25\, 2020 | 3:00pm – 4:00pm Eastern Time\n \nThis session presents the final three options for beginning the succession planning process and invites you to identify which approach you will take to initiate a culture of leadership continuity in your organization.
