DESCRIPTION:  

Making the biggest impact with limited funding and stretched capacity is a challenge most nonprofit leaders juggle. This workshop centers on the SMART framework for strategic planning, helping your team move from scattered effort to delivering meaningful results with confidence and joy.

Attendees will be introduced to the key ingredients of SMART strategic planning and walk through exercises to make their work more effective. By the end of the session, you'll be able to apply the key elements of SMART strategic planning so you can start a process that creates a vibrant, living plan instead of shelf art.

WHO SHOULD JOIN:  

This session is ideal for executive directors, program managers, and board members. All Gallatin County nonprofit staff, board members, and volunteers are welcome to attend.
