During the pandemic, many nonprofits have temporarily shut their doors, while others have ramped up to provide essential services. How do we plan for the coming year, knowing that there is no going back to “normal”?
Join Washington Nonprofits Considerations for Reopening: 4-part online series – July 2020
The next year or more will look different from any other we have experienced. We will be living with uncertainty and public health considerations and advisories are expected to change regularly. How are nonprofits adapting to this new environment? How can we balance concern for safety with resuming critical community services? What sort of “new normal” can we expect?
We are building the road as we walk it. In this series, we are asking leaders from organizations that are ahead of the curve to share their journey with us and help us understand what we all need to be thinking about as many of us resume our work.
Register for all four sessions for $25 or individual sessions for $10/session. Members of Washington Nonprofits can attend for free with the discount code found on the member resources page.
