AFP Webinar
Jason Saul, Founder and CEO of Mission Measurement LLC Fee: $10 This webinar can only be accessed from NMC University. As social issues become business issues, the role of corporate philanthropy is fundamentally changing. CSR, community affairs and citizenship directors are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their value to the business. As such, nonprofits need to rethink the way they are approaching companies. This webinar will teach nonprofits the latest trends in corporate philanthropy and offer practical tools and guidelines for how to effectively "sell impact" to companies in this new funding environment. Entry to mid-level practitioners, volunteers, and board members. The Board Primer
Pamela Evans, NorthSky Governance Consultant Fee: $25 If you currently serve on a nonprofit board or interested in joining one, this workshop is for you. We will discuss the requirements for serving on a board, how to be an effective board member, and what it means to be a “best practicing” board. This workshop will review the fiduciary duties and responsibilities to successfully guide a nonprofit organization. We’ll review the board “role description” in detail and how to identify the right fit of your skills and interest with the nonprofit board assignment for you. Entry to mid-level practitioner; new and current board members; individuals considering board service.

Debbie McKeon, Executive Director, NorthSky, Facilitator and Presenter Panelists: Fee: $10 Nonprofit organizations are increasingly challenged to meet the growing needs of their constituents with diminishing resources. By forming the right partnerships, nonprofits can leverage their financial resources, skills, and capacities to ensure their missions are secured. Even more importantly, successful partnerships bring together a talent pool of leaders who can more creatively address complex issues and needs. Join Debbie McKeon and the leadership of several northern Michigan nonprofits to discuss details of some partnerships that have formed in our region and that have other regions looking to us as leaders in this emerging field. Specific models and examples will be discussed and shared as well as practical tips for developing and maintaining the relationships. Entry to advanced-level practitioners, volunteers, and board members. Attention Arts and Cultural Organizations MCACA has entered into a partnership agreement with Travel Michigan to produce a Pure Michigan ad that is focused solely on Arts and Culture.
