The Executive Director Forum is a unique opportunity for nonprofit EDs/CEOs to connect with their peers, share ideas, and learn from each other in a supportive environment. In each session you will visit three discussion groups, each facilitated by an outstanding leader.
Jake Weber, Executive Director of FamilyWorks and one of our December facilitators, comments on why she comes to ED Forums:
"The ED Forums are always a shot in the arm - you leave the session with a few new relationships, a handful of great ideas and potential solutions, and more than enough inspiration to last until the next ED forum!"
Register now for the next King County ED Forum, convening on Friday, Dec. 18, from 8:30 – 10:30 a.m., at Pacific Tower. The cost of registration is $15 for nonmembers, but complimentary for members of 501 Commons, Global Washington, and Washington Nonprofits.
Discussion Group 1: ROCI - Return on Community Investment
ROCI extends the concept of ROI - return on investment - to look also at the organization’s value to the community. ROCI is a powerful engagement and marketing construct that you can use to help your donors and partners understand the value of your nonprofit to them and the community.
Facilitated by Sallie Neillie, the founder and Executive Director of Project Access Northwest.
Discussion group 2: Tips for building powerful partnerships for programming and with donors and board members
We all know that relationships make the world go ‘round but this group will explore the specific behaviors that bring strong relationships and partnerships to life and how to give priority to these activities.
Facilitated by Jake Weber, Executive Director of FamilyWorks Food Bank and Resource Center.
Discussion group 3: We are all advocates: Impacting your mission through public policy
All nonprofit leaders should think about how public policy impacts their organization’s mission, and then work to build effective relationships with elected officials. You will swap tips and stories about how to educate elected officials and promote improvements in public policy.
Facilitated by Sharonne Navas, Executive Director of Equity in Education Coalition.
