In a fast-paced world with changing economies, technologies and global work forces, nonprofits must utilize proactive planning not just to survive, but to thrive. Join nonprofit experts Hannes Combest, FASAE, CAE and Diane Marty, MALS, CFRE for this interactive program on assessing and addressing the drivers of change likely to impact nonprofit operations. They will present an overview of nonprofit governance duties and structures highlighting ForesightWorks as an emergent governance strategy. ForesightWorks is a deliberate, evidence-based research initiative developed by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) to assist nonprofits in proactive planning for transformational shifts in our nonprofit work.
Through the workshop, attendees can expect to gain an enhanced understanding of organizational governance operations and the proactive roles individuals can fulfill in a futurist process as volunteers, staff, and committed stakeholders. Seats are limited — save your spot today.
This is the first of three interactive workshop sessions hosted by Rockhurst University through Nonprofit Connect exclusively for Connext members.
