DESCRIPTION:  

In the nonprofit sector, where time and money are always in short supply, it can be tempting to push strategic planning to the back burner. But without a clear direction, even the most mission-driven organizations risk drifting, reacting instead of leading. Strategic planning is more than a document—done well, it’s a catalyst for focus, engagement, and progress. It helps teams make intentional decisions, communicate priorities, and respond to change with confidence.   

This session will demystify the planning process and help you design one that fits your organization’s capacity and culture, so you walk away with a roadmap—and the tools—to move forward with clarity.  

WHO SHOULD JOIN:  

This Nonprofit Cafe session is ideal for nonprofit leaders and board members who want to bring more clarity and intention to their work but feel overwhelmed by the idea of strategic planning.
