Oregon Heritage Fall Workshop on organizational planning – Grants Pass, Newport, or Virtual Does the idea of planning for your organization’s next big endeavor fill you with dread and anxiety? Or does it cause you to procrastinate because you just don’t know where to start? Let us help you get started by registering now for the free Organizational Planning without Fear & Anxiety Workshop hosted by Oregon Heritage!
We’ll help approach planning with the training-wheels on and a support system in place to catch you. During this free three-hour workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to take a look at your organization’s projects, establish goals, and get a working plan down on paper with the help of our skilled facilitator, Kyrie Kellet. You’ll also take home the tools and worklets to bring back to your organization once you feel ready to take the training-wheels off and do it on your own.
