A Partnership with:
The Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce
“Fort Bend’s non-profit community is an essential component of our economic success.
This is especially true in challenging times. The Fort Bend Chamber has been serving the non-profit community through the Excellence for Non-Profit Leadership (ENL) classes for 17 years. To build on this successful program, we are launching a new educational series geared towards non-profit organizations which will provide a high level perspective into topics relevant to today’s ever-evolving world. This series will provide resources that will help your organization stay connected, creative, and engaged with your members all while managing our new norms. I encourage ENL alumni and others to participate in this upcoming program to reinvigorate, refresh and re-energize!”

It’s a Whole New World: Post COVID-19
We are living in a time of so many unknowns:
-
- How will trends and driving forces impact our stakeholders?
- Who will be the winners and losers?
- What strategies will keep us relevant?
The only thing permanent is change, although the pace of change is accelerating. Driving forces influence trends that will create winners and losers amongst the stakeholders you serve. Expectations for ROI and motivations to be engaged are being altered.
What does that mean for your organization and how you can prepare to be essential over the next decade?

Duty of Foresight: Creating a Strategic Board
As you and your board adjust to the new times:
-
- How can we develop a strategic board that can guide our direction over the next decade?
- What is a Board Competency Matrix and how do we use it?
- Is our Board ready to deliver on the 4th D?
As nonprofit organizations become more complex and diverse, they will require boards of directors with a wide range of knowledge, skills and attributes to address the needs and challenges of the environment. One growing trend is to move away from a constituency-based board to develop a governance model based on a more competency-based process to recruit and develop agile directors.
Along with directors committing to deliver on the three “Ds”: Duty of Care, Duty of Loyalty and Duty of Obedience discover the 4th D, Duty of Foresight, it’s important to assess whether you have the “right people on the bus” to help your organization navigate its future.
Kill the Sacred Cows: Reimagine, Redesign and Relaunch
In this time of drastic change:
-
- How do we objectively evaluate our programming?
- Can we design programs amidst uncertainty?
- How we create events that appeal to changing expectations?
If you’re like many other organizations, your events have been postponed or canceled and the future of face-to-face events feel uncertain. It’s difficult to plan programs in the fall and for the year ahead. In the past, when you have reviewed programming and discussed which ones to sunset, it has resulted in turf-protection with employees and board members and there isn’t agreement on how to evaluate programs objectively.
With uncertainty looming and the changing expectations of stakeholders, it’s time to evaluate what you offer, say goodbye to sacred cows whose time has come and gone, and develop new strategies for designing future programs.
