Deep Dive: Succession Planning/Getting to YES!

Only 29% of nonprofits have a written succession plan in place. Without one, Main Street programs risk losing institutional knowledge, experiencing an extended disruption of operations, loss of funders and key relationships, low staff and volunteer morale, and overall instability. Attendees will complete a Succession Plan Readiness Test and evaluate the results. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical tips and strategies to help adopt a succession plan that will ensure the long-term sustainability of your Main Street organization.

Getting to YES! – Does your Main Street program need to raise MORE money to achieve its mission? Is your fundraising program stuck-in-a-rut of worn-out events with too much emphasis on transactional sponsorships? If this sounds familiar, this practical, interactive session is for you!

Join Alyce LeeStansbury, CFRE, who will help you build authentic relationships with donors and earn the right to ask for bigger gifts.
