10:00AM – 2:00PM PT
Confluence Technology Center- Okanogan and Entiat Rooms
Wenatchee, WA
Whether you are a small shop, or a volunteer run organization, your nonprofit’s success depends on finding qualified, dedicated people and keeping them happy, engaged, and accountable. While small nonprofits face complex challenges in accessing and implementing strategic human resource management, leaders at all levels can still pursue impactful systems, even with limited time and resources.
Understanding the essentials is critical because nonprofit HR includes areas required for compliance with local, state, and federal law as well as great team development. In this workshop, participants will explore regulations and practices that support an organization’s ability to pursue its mission in the most effective way possible through talent management, compliance, recruitment, and onboarding.
