COVID Conversations: Reflecting on Lessons Learned and the Path Forward for Chicagoland Nonprofits

The pandemic has forced our sector to adapt, innovate and test new approaches to programming, fundraising and volunteerism—with limited interaction with others. Since we have not had an in-person WSPN program since February 2020, we haven’t had an opportunity to come together as members to share our learnings, network and look ahead with one another.

- Building inclusive and culturally competent spaces

- Planning fundraising events during and post-COVID

- Appreciating volunteers and staff

- Communicating impact to supporters

- Executing digital fundraisers

- Cultivating and engaging donors without face-to   

   face interaction

- Overcoming burnout

Note on program format:

This will be a Zoom Meeting set-up, where everyone can participate. We will start in a main room to give introductions and instructions. Then, we will open breakout rooms in 12-15 minute blocks with a few selected topics.  When we reconvene in the large group, you'll have the chance to change topics or continue in the same group.

This program qualifies for 1.5 CFREs
