Title
COVID-19: Ask the Experts - Nonprofit Leaders' Challenges & Priorities During COVID-19 Times

Subject Matter Experts
Rick Jung – Executive Director, Portland Gay Men’s Chorus 
Kecia Kubota – Executive Director, Camp Fire Central Oregon 
Janet Yousey – CEO, Shangri-la 

Executive directors of three Oregon nonprofits will discuss the challenges and priorities facing their organizations and other nonprofits in their communities during these unprecedented COVID-19 times. How are they dealing with key challenges such as financial, staffing, programming, supporting the communities they serve, etc.? What are some emerging strategies and priorities they expect they need to focus on in anticipation of Oregon’s “reopening” following the loosening of the current stay at home order. There will be a Q&A/discussion session where participants can share their thoughts as well in a peer-to-peer forum.  

Send your questions or comments on this topic ahead of the session to [email protected]

*Space is limited to 500 participants. Please note that a recording of this webinar will be made available on NAO's COVID-19 Resources page for later viewing.
