Is your strategic plan helping your nonprofit thrive—or holding it back?
Nonprofits face unique pressures when planning for the future: balancing mission-driven goals with operational realities, engaging diverse stakeholders, and securing long-term sustainability. Too often, strategic plans fall short due to unclear priorities, lack of buy-in, or plans that simply don’t translate into action.
In this webinar, Michael Wilkinson, Founder of Leadership Strategies and Certified Master Facilitator, will guide you through a practical, proven approach to building a strong strategic foundation. Using the Drivers Model, you’ll discover how to create a plan that is both mission-centered and results-driven.
