As managers, board members and staff of nonprofit organizations, we all face questions of how to prepare our organizations for the future. Every day we are presented with potential threats and opportunities in our ability to deliver on mission and be of service to our communities.   

Risk Management planning allows organizations to prepare for uncertainty and build resiliency with greater foresight of potential disruptions.  

With the right tools and resources and some time to think it through, effective risk management is readily within grasp for any organization, large or small. Whether you know that your organization needs a risk management plan but aren’t sure where to start or you have some basics in place and want to take your planning to the next level, this training will provide you with the building blocks for a comprehensive and effective risk management plan, customized for your organization and its unique risk profile.     

Designed for management, board, and staff, this training is divided into two half-day sessions, held two weeks apart to allow for reflection and integration as you learn. Organizations are encouraged to register with two participants, one from each of their board and staff teams.  

This is a highly participatory workshop, incorporating your real-life situations and pulling from the experience of the group. Participants should come ready to engage with interactive group work and live discussion with the facilitator.   

Session 1: An overview of risk management, the process, and useful tools and resources to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks for your organization.    Wednesday, October 13, 2021: 9am – 12pm
