Options to be discussed will range from sharing services like human resources and accounting, collaborating to offer programs, to mergers. Participants will be asked to think about current potential partnerships and to think through what that might look like.

Better Together: Making a Plan for Nonprofit Collaboration
An Intensive Workshop Series
Session Dates: Fridays – February 12, February 26, and March 12 from 12:00pm to 1:30pm
If your nonprofit is seriously considering moving forward on a collaboration of any type, take advantage of this intensive workshop series to move forward with your plans. This is a unique opportunity to have an expert consultant work with you to think through next steps.
The program is designed for the Board Chair (or key board leader handling collaborations) and Executive Director to attend all 3 sessions together. There will be “homework” in between sessions. Duos will leave with an initial plan. Due to limited space availability, priority will be given to Mercer County regional nonprofits and those committed to a collaboration effort.
Partners on a Mission
A Collaborative Workshop Series
Session Dates: Tuesdays – March 9, March 16, March 23, and March 30 from 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Successful Board Chairs and Executive Directors require teamwork and close communication to work together effectively. To ensure your nonprofit is leveraging this crucial foundation for effective organizational leadership – you need a plan.
Partners on a Mission is a collaborative workshop series designed to develop and advance the relationship between your nonprofit’s Board President and Executive Director. After the training, both parties will have clear expectations and a firm understanding of how they can achieve peak performance – together.
Xan Blake, of The Blake Partnership, will be facilitating this program, which will be especially impactful for new Executive Director/Board Chair pairs. Attendees must commit to all 4 workshops
