Who should attend
Strategy is designed for your top program,
management, and board leadership. Seminar participants
always report that the exercises are more rewarding with a team and they find
it easier to implement and integrate new concepts when other key staff and board
members are familiar with the frameworks. In selecting your team, it will be
helpful to include:
- Board, management, and program leaders responsible for setting your organization's direction
- Key staff required to effectively execute strategy
What past participants have to say
The Loft Literary Center's Executive Director, Jocelyn Hale, shares how attending Strategy helped her organization solidify their vision and engage staff around a new venture.
“Strategy handed us the tools to take our intrinsic
value and turn it into a solid business... The truth is, we wouldn't be here
if we hadn't taken the seminar. It helped me remember why I love what I do,
and that percolates through everything that we do.” Read
