 SEPT. 1  Back to School: Orientation, Education and Training   
Nonprofit leaders who seek to integrate risk management into their operations 
often look far and wide for “best practices.” Yet the fundamental activities of 
volunteer, staff and client orientation, in-service training are important 
components of your risk management strategy. Attend this webinar to explore the 
role of effective education in an overall risk management program.BACK TO TOP

 OCT. 6 Got Resources? Risk and Reward in Resource Development   
Fundraising and resource development are vital components of every nonprofit’s 
operations and some leaders report that fundraising takes more time than ever. 
Risk may be the reason for this phenomenon. A growing array of risks arise when 
a nonprofit seeks support from individual and institutional donors, and the 
complexity of laws regulating fundraising activities frustrates even the most 
seasoned leader. This webinar will explore the risks associated with asking for 
and accepting the support your nonprofit needs to deliver its mission. The 
presenter will offer practice strategies for managing the risks you know about 
as well as those that are coming around the bend.BACK TO TOP

 NOV. 3 Cyberspace Risk: What You Don't Know Could Hurt You   
The nonprofit sector’s reliance on the Internet and modern technology has grown 
beyond anything most leaders imagined was possible. In many cases modern 
technology has enabled small and midsized nonprofits to reach unreachable 
audiences with mission-related messages. But it’s a dangerous world out there! 
Attend this webinar to find out what you don’t know about cyberspace that could 
hurt your nonprofit and impair or disrupt your mission. Explore practical steps 
for risk identification and the design of effective strategies for managing the 
risks of your online presence.BACK TO TOP

 DEC. 1 What Do the Numbers Say About Your Nonprofit?   
The story of your nonprofit is told in various ways and formats. One of the ways 
is through your published financial statements and Form 990. While you may hope 
that stakeholders are focusing on your “vision statement” and the compelling 
descriptions of programs on your Web site, in reality their attention may be 
riveted to the story your numbers tell. Attend this webinar to learn how to 
manage the risks associated with telling your story in numbers and practical 
steps for ensuring that the story is both accurate and mission-advancing.BACK TO
