It is often said that the only constant in life is change...and nowhere is that more true than in our nonprofit organizations! This interactive workshop will get you thinking about the organization you serve in the past, present and future. We'll identify commonly observed "eras" or stages of organizational life from formation to renewal, and sometimes to decline and dissolution.

What do you need to pay attention to as each stage unfolds?
How can you engage the board of directors, staff, and community stakeholders in continued, healthy organizational development?
What do you do to get through the hard times every organization faces?
