Nonprofit Employment Trends Symposia - June 5
Mission-driven organizations have long known the value of individuals and their effect on a mission's success or failure. Are you getting the most from your people? Overcoming unprecedented budget shortfalls, devising pay structures to compete for top talent and driving accountability amongst the people you have in place -- all while advancing your organization's mission. No one said it would be easy. HR's role is critical in anticipating and responding to these shifting organizational realities. Gain insight and immediately useful tools crafted specifically for the unique role of HR in a nonprofit.

The Art of Nonprofit Story Telling
We invite you to discover the art of storytelling: one of the most effective tools a nonprofit has to raise funds and win support. It is an art that can be shared via publications and direct mail; verbally, from the elevator speech to a funder presentation; and online, using today's social networking tools. A well-told story inspires and compels action and distinguishes your organization from the masses.
This session will explore the factors that make each type of presentation successful, so that you are utilizing all of these communication tools effectively, maximizing support for your organization through skilled external communications. Comprehensive workbooks will be provided.
