Strategic planning is important for all nonprofit organizations, but getting started can be difficult. This fast-paced session will explore what it takes to prepare for the strategic planning process and the different components that make up a strategic plan. We will answer questions like:

• How long does the process take?
• Do I need a consultant to lead the process?
• Do we need a planning committee?
• Who needs to be involved?
• What do we do once we have the plan?

Join us for an interactive session designed to examine what a strategic plan is, what it is not, why funders want to see that nonprofits have one, and why having a plan should be important to our boards
