Is strategic planning on your radar? Do you need to clarify the strategic direction of your organization and the strategies that will be used to achieve your vision while also ensuring organizational health and sustainability? If you answered yes, join this full day workshop hosted by Nonprofit Association of Washington and Grays Harbor Community Foundation.
Strategic planning is all about aligning your people, partnerships, and resources to achieve your mission. It invites conversation and planning on ways to make a difference while ensuring the health and sustainability of your organization. The workshop is anchored with Strategic Planning in Nonprofits (SPiN), a toolkit developed by NAWA to make strategic planning accessible and manageable for you, your board, and your staff. Over the course of this full-day workshop, we will review the six phases in the planning process. You will leave with the tools and confidence to develop a strategic plan for your organization.
