Six Steps to a Highly Effective Organization:
Nonprofit Board Training                     Information Flyer [pdf link]

• Is your organization not performing as productively as you want?
• Do you have trouble finding or keeping volunteers?
• Do you struggle to find or manage resources?
• Are your meetings boring?
• Does the group feel like it’s going in too many directions or no direction at all?
• Then this comprehensive and interactive training will be helpful to your organization.

The ‘Six Steps to a Highly Effective Organization’ is a ‘checkup’ for local organizations to help their leaders identify the group’s strengths and weaknesses, and then develop concrete steps to resolve these. It includes an individualized assessment of the group, and in‐depth training on the skills necessary to improve the organization’s ability to achieve its goals, including effective decision‐making, leadership development, information gathering, organizational structure, and resource generation.

The focus of the program is on how your organization operates, such as leadership, structure and committee roles, decision‐making, effectiveness of meetings, and resource management. It does not focus directly on determining which specific programs or activities your organization should do, though the skills and processes you’ll learn will give you the ability to make such decisions.

The six part series will be offered for six consecutive weeks starting in late September. We will be offering one full session in Colville and one in south Stevens County (site to be determined)
