Description
Collaboration can offer nonprofit organizations a strategic advantage, allowing them to stretch their resources, strengthen their programs and services and amplify mission impact. This webinar will help board members and staff leaders to nurture the right kinds of collaborations with other organizations, groups and networks, make a valuable contribution to them and be a sought-after collaborative partner.
In this one hour webinar, participants will explore three tools from The Collaborative Organization, a just released website of thirteen free practical resources and tools. Board members and staff leaders will learn about the three key values that should be present in the organization’s culture, and what they look like in practice. They’ll also better understand how to effectively manage the opportunities and risks associated with collaboration.
Join Linda Mollenhauer, Liz Weaver and Sylvia Cheuy for a lively hour of dialogue and take away ideas, steps and checklists that will better position your organization for collaboration success.
