Not-for-profit Leadership

Commit A Few Hours and Accomplish a Change Forever

During this seminar, Wendell Seaborne, Ph. D. leads the volunteer and professional members of the leadership team(s) of not-for-profit organization(s) to a greater understanding of their role and how to accomplish their dream of making a real difference in the lives of others. Whether your organization is involved in arts advocacy, or bettering the business community, or providing persons with life-giving help, this seminar can lead you to a better way to do so.

Although flexible, the seminar is generally structured as five 1-hour sessions. This structure allows for participants to develop their personal skills without sacrificing their personal life. These have been presented in a single day, as often as weekly or as convenient as monthly around a regularly scheduled meeting of the board.

The topics covered in the seminar are:

• It Starts With Leadership
  • Board and Governance issues and roles
• Rules Are Made to NOT Be Broken
  • Overview of by-laws, policies and regulations
  • 501(c)3-4-6 designations
• Know Thyself—A Look at Volunteers, Staff and Members
  • Why do persons volunteer? Why do members join?
  • Business case for diversity beyond race and gender
• Can’t have a Mission Without a Margin
  • Overview of finance and fundraising
  • Fundraising in a down economy
• Putting It All Together

Specific topics may be requested for any of these sessions, or a different topic may be substituted if your specific needs dictate that.
