Nonprofit Association of Oregon Workshop: Achieving Long-term Stability in Your Nonprofit, Medford, Nov. 12
Nonprofit leaders often share that they wear many hats. While this paints a lighthearted and funny picture, it hides an important truth: with so many priorities, how can we truly focus on what our nonprofit needs to thrive? If figuring this out feels essential to you, we invite you to join us in exploring ways to strengthen your nonprofit’s foundation and ensure its lasting success, all while gracefully navigating the challenges of leadership in the nonprofit world.
Achieving and maintaining long-term sustainability for our nonprofits is crucial, but it can be simplified. When we boil it down, it requires:

  1.  a driving passion for our mission, vision, and values;
  2.  effective programs and services that meet the needs of our community;
  3.  strong business and operational savvy;
  4.  engaging people who care; and
  5.  a growth mindset and learning cycle that helps us learn from both successes and failures.
This session explores integrating five essential elements into a cohesive vision for your organization’s sustainability. We’ll discuss strategies for balancing priorities and building a resilient nonprofit. Participants will leave with key priorities for long-term sustainability.
Date: Tuesday, November 12 from 9 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
Location: ACCESS Olsrud Family Nutrition Center in Medford
Cost: $45 NAO Members, $75 Non-member, $0 Network Passholders
