Managing Through Change
9:45 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Breakout Sessions A (Philanthropy)
Description:
Regardless of your political persuasion, we can all agree that change is afoot, and some of the policy alterations that the new administration will enact will invariably affect nonprofits. Many nonprofits are worried that new policies will “affect the at-risk and vulnerable populations they serve.” Some organizations fear that their mission will no longer be funded, while others hope the new administration will embrace their cause. What’s true is that some changes might bring benefits; others may be painful. Are you ready to act? Join Emma for a conversation on what you can do to be ready for change
