    The nonprofit sector today is under deep strain — the work feels more urgent than ever, and the way forward is anything but simple. Join us for Leading Nonprofits Through the Twists and Turns, an interactive workshop with Melanie Ho, founder of Strategic Imagination. You’ll have a chance to step out of survival mode, explore ways to manage change, and understand how to lead well as complexity becomes the norm.

    Join us for the forum Making the Case for Investments in Data to learn from Jacqueline La Gamma of Northwell Health, Lindsey Nadeau of UNICEF USA, and Kristin Richardson of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation as they share proven ways to persuade leaders to invest in data tools and analysis. They’ll explain how to start out small and build up to bigger budgets over time, and they’ll offer tips on how to demonstrate return on investments.

Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online
