Half-Day Workshop: $90

About this Session: High performance is a goal we all aspire to, but it can feel out of reach. Take the momentum of the new year and lay the groundwork to course correct now to avoid pitfalls later. In this workshop, learn about the Performance Imperative (PI): a Framework for Social-Sector Excellence. The PI outlines seven elements of high performing organizations and helps you begin your journey toward meaningful, measurable, and financially sustainable results. Be the organization whose impact is known, understood and championed by donors, volunteers and staff.

Participate in this workshop to:

· Gain insights and examples of the PI’s seven pillars;

· Discuss and reflect on practical, incremental changes you can make on your journey to high performance;

· Harness an opportunity to gain a competitive-edge toward successful results this year.

Who Should Participate: Executive, program and development directors and staff
