Week of 10/27/08

We’re all watching the economic markets and wondering how that turbulence will not only impact our personal lives but the financial health of our nonprofit organizations. It’s scary to speculate on all the ramifications and too soon to know with any certainty in what ways governmental and private funding will be impacted. We will also, most likely, continue to experience growing operating expenses.

NorthSky is offering a number of training opportunities to help position your organization for change. While we can’t read a crystal ball and identify all the changes coming, we can focus on strengthening our operating capacity and agility in implementing strategies. Learn about telling your story via online strategies from Andy Wolber, Michigan N-Power on November 6, or about the revised MNA Principles and Practices checklist from Kelley Kuhn on November 13. We also will review the new 990 form with our colleagues at Dennis, Gartland, and Niergarth on November 20.

Come out and join us; network with your colleagues, learn and strategize together.

Most importantly- let us know how we can help. Join this discussion by posting your comments.

Pam Evans.
