SUMMARY:Spotlight: Alternative Angles for the DEI Space
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nThursday\, December 7th\, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $129 for Members\, $169 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nThis virtual Spotlight training will take a closer look at common Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Justice (DEIJ) challenges and offer four fresh perspectives on addressing them through action. Each of these four sessions will invite participants into deep dives rich with frameworks\, share application tips and tools designed to disrupt social norms\, and create conditions for change. \nSessions Include: \n\nAlternative Training\nCoalition Building\nWellness and Resiliency\nOperationalizing Accountability\n\nSpotlights are day-long virtual trainings\, offering four to five 60-minute sessions\, each exploring a different aspect of a specific topic. Each session will be led by experienced nonprofit leaders and subject-matter experts. Spotlights are designed to offer practical information that can be applied immediately along with larger-picture questions and possibilities to consider for the long-term. \nWe know it’s difficult to carve out large chunks of time in your day to attend trainings\, so we’ve spread the sessions out over a full day\, with breaks in between. You will have access to the session recordings for three months! \nSchedule\nAll sessions listed in Eastern Time. \n10:15-11:15 a.m. // Wellness and Resiliency\nThis session will invite participants to consider the ways self-awareness and power intersect\, creating an access point to collective well-being. In this session\, the presenter will outline a rhythm of organizational trauma-informed anti-racism that maintains a relentless commitment to liberation without sacrificing the well-being of the individuals who uphold these efforts. Join this session to explore what it feels like to be well and free.\nArielle Grant\, founder\, Render Free \n11:30-12:30 p.m. // Alternatives to JEDI Training\nAre you burned out on justice\, equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (JEDI) trainings\, yet seeing no tangible change at your organization? Are you tired of JEDI initiatives that seem to fail\, or worse\, cause unexpected harm? Are you looking for ways to make JEDI learning an everyday way of life? In this interactive session\, you will explore an approach to making JEDI the “how” of delivering on your organizational mission\, beyond workshops and trainings. The presenter is experienced in leading nonprofits to assess the success of their JEDI initiatives\, to bridge the gaps uncovered in the assessment\, and to create accountability to a new JEDI vision–with examples and tools that you can apply right away! As a bonus\, you will also have a chance to discover alternative ways in which to meaningfully and effectively teach\, learn\, and influence change around JEDI.\nShona Ramchandani\, principal and founder\, Chrysalis Consulting Collaborative\, LLC \n2:30-3:30 p.m. // Coalition Building\nJoin us for a dynamic workshop on coalition building\, tailored specifically for the vibrant landscape of Minnesota’s nonprofits. Discover practical strategies and collaborative tools to forge powerful alliances and amplify your organization’s impact within the community. Limited resources and the need for affinity spaces creates even more urgency for coalition building now. In this session participants will be invited to concentrate their energy towards strategic relationships—how to nurture and sustain them in the service of collective solution-making.\nCorenia Smith\, strategic partner & health equity consultant\, Wholesome Management\n \n3:45-4:45 // Operationalizing Accountability for Change\nA key question leaders often receive related to their work is “how do you measure the impact of your work?” To build on this\, we also must ask the question “who have you asked?” The purpose of this session is to examine stories\, models\, and artifacts of accountability that can operationalize accountability and drive organizational change. The key priority of this framing is to ensure accountability can be community-led and co-constructed to achieve alignment.\nJerad Green\, founder & strategic consultant\, Quixotic Solutions LLC \nEach session will have a takeaway tool that is designed to comprise a toolkit. \nThe Spotlight will be hosted by Ashley Oolman of Allied Folk\, LLC. \n\nEvent Details\nThis virtual event will take place on the Zoom platform.

SUMMARY:Credential in Leadership and Organizational Culture
DESCRIPTION:This series is offered by Utah Nonprofits Association.\n\nDecember 11th and 12th \, 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $180 for Members ($40 for each additional participant)\, $360 for Nonmembers ($80 for each additional participant).  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nNEW CONTENT FOR 2023: Participating in the Credential in Leadership and Organizational Culture will outfit you with practical\, actionable skills and tools for building a high-performing nonprofit. The course includes online\, live training sessions\, consultations\, a library of resources and upon full completion of the course requirements\, a Credential Badge in Leadership and Organizational Culture.\n\nAs more Millenials and GenZers enter the workforce\, organizational leaders need to rethink and refresh their thinking in how to lead\, and re-evaluate what leadership culture and structure should look like. The traditional canon of nonprofit organizational leadership is replete with expectations that often foundationally center in “saviorism” in policy and practice.  What can you\, your team\, and stakeholders do to re-imagine how you do your work in the community to dismantle and restructure this? Learn how language and seeming “best practice” can often coninue harming the people we intend to help. \nAs nonprofit leaders\, we most likely find ourselves involved in the work of this sector because we feel called to implement the mission of our organizations. We seek to achieve the vision of the change we feel is needed in our community\, and we are driven by values that we hope guide the way we do our work. \nHowever\, miscellaneous pain points or organizational life cycle challenges (and sometimes\, amazing opportunities for growth) can often challenge our ability to best meet our mission. As nonprofit leaders\, our personal skill sets (strengths and weaknesses) need constant revisiting to make sure we are not “getting in the way” of what we hope to achieve. The Credential in Leadership and Organizational Culture can help with that. \nWe will take what has traditionally been rested in majoritarian-centered ideals of nonprofit professionalism and explore it through a JEDI (justice\, equity\, diversity\, and inclusion) lens\, in an effort to rethink the concept of “best practice.” \n“Helping\, fixing and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help\, you see life as weak. When you fix\, you see life as broken. When you serve\, you see life as whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego\, and service the work of the soul.”  – Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen \nOnline Classroom Training Sessions\nYour subject-matter-expert/consultant will lead you and other nonprofit leaders in two days of online training sessions. To get the most of this training\, we ask you to please complete the participant survey in its entirety (due one week prior to the training). You will receive the survey two weeks prior to the first session. It is our objective to tailor this training to your needs; the more our subject-matter-expert/consultant knows about you\, the more you will get out of it. \nA One-on-One Consultation\nYou’ll meet with the subject-matter-expert and receive specific feedback and coaching on your organization’s culture and leadership. \nSuccessful participation means that you’ll develop a leadership and organizational development plan and timeline based on the principles explored in the Credential. On which areas of your own personal growth would you like to work? What resourcing will you need to accomplish this and what do you need to do to acquire the support from donors and your board to achieve the objectives of your plan and timeline? What cultural shifts would you like to undertake in how your team meets community needs. \nCost: \nUNA Member Rate: $180 for the first person/$40 for each additional participant\nNot-Yet-Member Rate: $360 for the first person/$80 for each additional participant \nCourse Dates: \nOnline Training Sessions\nPart 1 | November 13\, 2023 | 10 am to 4 pm\nPart 2 | November 14\, 2023 | 10 am to 4 pm \nOrganizational Consultation (deep dive into your nonprofit’s needs):\n40 minute consult on December 11 or 12\, 2023 \nLocation:\nOnline via Zoom \nSubject-Matter-Expert: Rebecca Chavez-Houck:\nFormer Utah State Representative Rebecca Chavez-Houck holds a BA in Journalism & Mass Communication and an MPA\, both from the University of Utah.

Spotlights are designed to offer practical information that can be applied immediately along with larger-picture questions and possibilities to consider for the long-term. \nWe know it’s difficult to carve out large chunks of time in your day to attend trainings\, so we’ve spread the sessions out over a full day\, with breaks in between. You will have access to the session recordings for three months! \nRegister now for this fast-paced review of important\, timely fundraising topics that will help prepare you for a successful 2024! \nSchedule\nAll sessions listed in Eastern Time. \n10-11 a.m. // Telling Your Story with Data\nYou have an important story to tell. Whether it’s to a funder\, policymakers\, or your clients\, data can help you paint a clearer picture of your community or those you serve. In this session\, learn how to use data in ways that tell a story. Topics will include why we use data\, how to construct a story with data\, and how to make sure you are using data in ways that are meaningful.

Join us for Values-Based Donor Qualification.

In this session\, the presenters will share a brief history of donor advised funds (DAFs)\, discuss exactly how DAFs work and why different individuals\, families\, and organizations may choose to use them to accomplish their charitable giving goals. They will look at the various types of DAF providers out there and discuss some of the critiques and public policy discussions currently surrounding DAFs. Most importantly\, they will share information on how nonprofits can do a better job of working with DAFs\, both through the individuals and organizations that use them as well as with community foundations. This aims to be a very interactive session\, so bring your great questions as well!\nHeidi Tieszen\, philanthropic advisor and Jeremy R. Wells\, senior vice president of Philanthropic Services\, Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation\n\n3:30-4:30 p.m. // Audit Your Online Donor Experience\nIs your online donor experience leaving supporters feeling warm and fuzzy or confused and frustrated?
