Non-Profit SIG - Marketing Relevance in the 21st Century
5/17/2018 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Event Description
Topic: Marketing Relevance in the 21st Century
Presented by: Catherine Pennington, CPA
Most organizations regularly update their strategic plan, but the rapidly changing world requires more than just an update. Learning to separate mission from organization and how to take advantage of the successes and failures of other organizations can provide a more robust and useful revision to the strategic plans of an organization.
What you’ll learn:
How to define relevance for your organization and how that may differ from the relevance of the mission
How to measure relevance for your organization
How to use the information derived from the new Non-Profit reporting standards to help in the search for organizational relevance and in measuring that relevance.
Who will Benefit?
The session will benefit CFO's and Executive Directors who present regularly to their Finance Committee and board, financial heads of staff at non-profits as well as auditors who make financial presentations to their non-profit clients
