The Standards for Excellence - Introductory Workshop

April 18, 2012 - 5:00am

The Standards for Excellence® provides a strong foundation as well as a clear framework with which to develop and sustain your organization, train staff and promote public confidence. The Standards for Excellence serves as a model for nonprofit operations and governance.

Supported by The Philadelphia Foundation, the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations is offering a specially adapted program for community based organizations with total revenues of $300,000 or less. The program starts off with a three hour Introductory session providing knowledge that will improve at least some components of your organization’s operations and board operations. For organizations that wish to move further with implementing Standards there are two additional programs that will follow the Introductory Session.

In the first Introductory seminar, participants will:

  • Learn the basics of the Standards for Excellence® and how they can strengthen your organization and board governance.  
  • Review a self-assessment checklist to identify areas of effective operations  and opportunities for  growth and improvement.
  • Learn about educational resources available, sample tools and policies and the voluntary Tier One: Essentials process designed to make  sure basic legal and regulatory practices are in place and engage your board. 

Who should attend:  Executive Directors, Board Members and Nonprofit Managers.

Registration and coffee begin at 8:30am.

This session is available only to nonprofits with a budget size of $300,000 or less per year. Part of a larger initiative, select organizations in attendance will have the opportunity to participate in a full-day Standards for Excellence® Implementation Workshop and the Tier One process to implement the essential Standards.
