Description

Leadership Part 2 (Staff & Volunteers) and Legal Compliance & Ethics | Virtual Standards for Excellence Implementation Workshop Series (3 of 6)
Wednesday, November 2 | 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM EST | Interactive Web Meeting

Moderated by: Tish Mogan, Standards for Excellence Director, PANO

Presented by: Standards for Excellence Licensed Consultants Rosalind Spigel, MSOD, ACC and Thomas A. Tupitza, Esq.

 

Do you want to move your organization to the next level of effectiveness? Would you like to incorporate the latest practices to strengthen your leadership and management and could use some support? Would you like to have the potential of raising more money because donors and funders are confident about the quality of your programs and you have evidence to prove it? Are you feeling like there is something more you could do to promote excellence in your organization?

 

If your answer to any of these questions is YES, the Virtual Standards for Excellence® Implementation Workshop Series is for you! This session, the third of six, covers the third Guiding Principle of the Standards for Excellence: Leadership Part 2 (Staff & Volunteers) and Legal Compliance & Ethics. We’ll look at things like organizational and management structure, compensation procedures, personnel policies, volunteer policies, legal requirements for creating inclusive workplaces, and more. We’ll provides lots of tools and resources for putting the information shared into practice, including:

  • Sample New Employee Orientation Checklist
  • Sample Document Retention Policy
  • Sample Remote Work Policy
  • Sample Employee Handbook
  • Model Volunteer Program Policies and Procedures
  • Legal Checklist of Compliance with Selected Legal, Regulatory, and Financial Reporting Requirements for Nonprofits
  • Sample Code of Ethics

 

Each session will be interactive, offering opportunities to learn from the wisdom in the room through peer-to-peer sharing. We’ll have large group discussions where you’ll discover useful tips and strategies for applying the Standards in your organization as well as small group discussions using breakout rooms, where you can really dig in to how others’ practices can help you improve your operations (and where you can share promising practices of your own!).
