Nonprofit leaders are constantly having to juggle an untold number of competing priorities. However, as workplace norms shift yet again, we find ourselves in an environment where the culture of our organization is a top priority to the volunteers, employees, and board members we hope to attract and retain.
What is our responsibility, as leaders, to cultivate a positive work culture? What does the ideal work culture even look like? How do we get there with the tools, time, and talents we actually have at our disposal?
Join us for this interactive panel discussion with local nonprofit leaders as they share lessons they’ve learned about cultivating a work culture that keeps people engaged, productive, fulfilled, and well.
For accommodation requests, please contact us at training@nonprofitoregon.org. Advanced notice of at least 10 days is appreciated.
