Presented by Gretchen Upholt, BDO
Open to executive directors, board members and staff of Hancock County serving nonprofit organizations. Limited to 40 attendees.

While nonprofit organizations cannot predict the future, they can anticipate how they would adjust to a variety of major and minor shifts in their original strategic plans and budgets so that they are equipped to make difficult, complex decisions as financial or human capital crises arise. Building potential scenarios and backup plans can give leaders, their staff, boards, and funders the confidence they need to press on and continue to deliver on programs.
This session will address:
- Guiding principles for successful scenario planning processes.
- Identifying critical questions and decision points for your organization.
- Undertaking a risk landscape analysis.
- Introduction to tools to facilitate the scenario planning process.
