A conflict has arisen for the presenter of this webinar, and we will have to postpone it. We will be offering it on August 25, 2010, at 2:30 EDT / 11:30 PDT. If you would like to discuss this topic individually with the presenter in the meantime, or if you'd like materials on the topic, please contact Sam Frank.

Description:

Before launching any substantial facility project, nonprofits should have a clear sense of the entire process so that they can maximize quality and value and minimize costs, risks and stress. This webinar will present what a CEO and board need to know before engaging in the conception, design and construction of new or renovated facilities. Roles and responsibilities (board, CEO, staff, architects, contractors, consultants), strategy, planning, programming, budgeting, and financial modeling. Participants will get a road map to the facility development process.

Part of the Wednesday Webinar series for nonprofit staff and board development. Offering strategy, planning, organizational development, branding, marketing, executive search, finance, fundraising, operations, and more.
