In a world full of conflict and trauma, every nonprofit faces the possibility of workplace conflict and violence. As nonprofit leaders, we must understand the risks, work to prevent violence when we can, and have a plan to respond if prevention efforts fail. Attend this webinar to learn common types of incidents, workplace violence risk factors, prevention strategies for nonprofits, how to create an incident plan, and additional resources for help. The session will also present practical tips to bring down the heat in difficult conversations and be prepared if an interaction does escalate.

Melanie has been recognized as a member of The Nonprofit Times Power & Influence Top 50 fourteen times. As Nonprofit Risk Management Center’s (NRMC’s) leader she regularly advises management and governing teams from a wide array of nonprofits operating in the U.S. and internationally. She is known as a thought leader who can present risk recommendations that are easy to understand and apply.
