Leading in these times necessitates balance
As Minnesota’s nonprofit sector enters a time of transformation, leaders are increasingly required to be efficient and practical in their work, in order to maximize impact while resources are tight. Leading in these times also necessitates a balanced approach.
Join your colleagues to learn, recharge and take stock of practical leadership tools and practices at the personal and organizational levels. This day-long conference is geared towards leaders in all roles within organizations – including senior leadership, those who are leading from the middle, and emerging leaders.

You will gain tools for assessing, planning and implementing; have time for self-reflection; get breaking information for leaders on current nonprofit conditions; and be included in rich network-building opportunities.

• Making effective leadership decisions that consider your organization’s current standing, resource capacity, and potential and desired impact

• Engaging stakeholders and communities, continuing to be responsive and also including them in the decision-making and direction of your organization
• Nurturing your own leadership to be most effective in your role
• Leading a program or project effectively, considering the context of organizational structure and changes
