SESSION DESCRIPTION
Boards of nonprofit agencies and programs often spend a lot
of time reviewing and discussing finances, but this activity can be ineffective
when the board has not developed effective policies, strategies and clear roles
for staff and board members in financial management.
The first 45 minutes of the program will address four areas
related to tough financial times:
• Loss of
major funding source
• Fundraising
shortfalls
• Economic
downturn
• Financial
management issues
Participants will be given information on how to recognize
potential problems and respond before they turn into disasters, how to build in
safeguards to prevent problems from happening in the first place, and
strategies for surviving and thriving in spite of unavoidable tough times.
The remaining 45 minutes will be an open discussion of
questions from participants. Questions
sent in with the registration will receive priority.ABOUT THE PRESENTER
