Nonprofit program managers ask themselves “How do I reach my volunteers or participants to participate in the activities to achieve the program’s intended outcome or goal?” The next question is often “And, how do we track their participation?” Despite the emergence of affordable mobile technology, staff are often not sure how to decide if an app is the right solution to answer these questions.
What does board commitment to equity look like at this moment in time? This workshop explores 3 key elements: 1. Board readiness: Bringing in new people won’t change anything if the board isn’t ready to listen and change. What questions can boards ask to invite meaningful self-assessment, listening and change ? How do boards intentionally change their culture? 2. Recruiting- Boards generally spend minimal time on recruitment, and lack good systems to build pipelines. Let’s explore good recruitment practices and then apply to a DEI lens. 3.

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and America’s racial reckoning of 2020, communities are clear the only ways to rebuild, re-energize and recover are to work collaboratively to address complex social problems. It is no longer enough to focus on strengthening individual nonprofits with the hope of enabling them to meet community residents’ needs. Yet, the mere commitment or desire to collaborate, no matter how strong, has never resulted in successful solutions to even the tamest of community challenges.
Many nonprofit service providers would gladly work themselves out of a job if solutions could be found for the most pressing issues of our time. However, we are generally so overextended just treating the symptoms of social and environmental problems that it can be difficult to engage effectively, if at all, in changing public policy and other structural conditions. The result is a nonprofit sector that too often does for people, rather than pursuing social change with them, which can reinforce barriers to advancing equity.
Societal structures exist in America that enable healthy lives for some and unhealthy lives for others. Leaders are uniquely positioned to drive social movement in the communities they serve. They are also charged with investing in their talent and removing barriers to healthy living within their organizations. Total rewards programs have come a long way for many nonprofits, and yet, one major area where health inequities still exist is in health benefits plan design.
Equity and inclusion are at the center of a nonprofit’s mission. What can nonprofits do to build strong partnerships among the communities served and donors? How does an organization expand its fundraising strategy to involve donors who may not have been included in the past? What are the ways all supporters can feel a sense of belonging as we work to create a stronger community?
This beginning level workshop offers participants an opportunity to delve into fundamental issues associated with contract management and administration in the nonprofit sector.

Research is tantamount to effective advocacy and impactful programming. In order to maintain program effectiveness, organizations must evolve with the needs of those they serve, and that is impossible if they do not know what those current needs are. Data collection, dissemination, and research are imperative to ensuring that organizational efforts are being targeted where needed. Non-profit leaders need to identify trends in order to surface any gaps and inconsistencies in their programming to prevent diminishing returns on their investment into the communities they serve.
