Boundaries are shifting. Resources are expanding. Responsibilities are changing. The opening up of our organizations to the influence of the networks that we're a part of is transforming fundraising, volunteer management, education, and advocacy. But what does this mean specifically? How does it affect staff responsibilities, hiring, communication and management policies, compensation? In this two part online workshop, we'll address what this means on a day to day basis, including:

• how to cherry pick network opportunities for your programs
• developing effective policies on employee blogging and social network participation
• the top changes networks bring to fundraising and volunteer programs
• the top changes networks bring to advocacy and education programs
• models and methods for recruiting and hiring network savvy talent

You will leave this workshop with both long lasting strategic methods and immediately applicable tactics. The two part format in particular is designed to make sure that you have the time and support to connect this material to your organization's circumstances. If you have any doubt about whether this workshop is right for you, please don't hesitate to ask us.
