Strategic Planning

Registration includes access for up to three individuals from your organization.

Registration for this event includes access to the zoom workshop as well as a 1-hour consultation with the presenter.

Strategic planning is important to the success of any size nonprofit. It helps staff, board, and volunteers articulate and advance cohesive goals, priorities, and strategies in pursuit of the organization’s mission.

Learn the basics of how to conduct a SWOT analysis – strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats – of your organization. A good strategic plan will undergo repeated adjustments as the organization changes and faces morphing external pressures.
