As a nonprofit board member, you are ultimately responsible for the financial health of your organization. You must first understand your financial situation in order to make informed decisions and provide strategic leadership. This is especially important now, when organizational leaders must be prepared to assess and pursue new financial strategies in response to the recession.

In this webinar you will:

  • Review basic nonprofit financial reports and terminology
  • Learn to interpret financial information in context
  • Discover strategies to effectively participate in financial discussions and decisions
By the end of the session, you will have a working knowledge of the nonprofit income statement and balance sheet and will understand your financial leadership roles and responsibilities.

Can we possibly do more with less? Sometimes the answer is yes, with the power of collaboration. But if partners don’t work well together, the goal is muddy, and responsibilities aren’t clear, collaboration can be far more effort than it is worth.

In this webinar, Sandy Jacobsen of Fieldstone Alliance will help you think through:

  1. The pros and cons of collaborating during tough economic times.
  2. Whether collaboration is the right strategy to reach your goal, and how to build a strong foundation.
  3. The three toughest issues in collaboration: building trust, leading successfully, and making decisions.
Through stories and examples, you’ll see you have the power to build, strengthen and repair your collaborative.
