Reputation Risk: What's in a Name - webinar
August 4, 2010

A nonprofit's reputation is a vital asset on which it depends. Yet that asset is at risk everyday and many leaders feel powerless to evaluate the degree to which reputation is at risk and respond capably when the "brand" is tarnished. Sources of brand risk include every stakeholder group near and dear to the heart of the nonprofit: volunteers, staff, donors, client/members, and more. This webinar will explore the process for managing reputation and offer practical tips on protecting the name and mission of your nonprofit safe.

Nonprofit Management 101
September 21, 2010
Beneficial Savings Bank; 530 Walnut Street; Philadelphia, PA 19106

The "juggler" is an image that is frequently used to describe the role of a nonprofit executive director. A nonprofit CEO needs to manage mission, people, programs and money - not to mention his or her critical relationship to the Board of Directors and other organizational partners and funders. This course will cover the key responsibilities of an executive director and use examples and exercises to build knowledge and skills. You will leave with an understanding of how organizational context and life cycles shape the practice of management; when and how the executive director might serve as leader, facilitator, supporter and/or "do-er;" and be able to identify critical issues within various aspects of management.
