Description

BOARDS WITH BRAINS is SVP’s open-to-all nonprofit governance education series. Join us for our 2017 trainings, like this one: This session will define advocacy and clarify the rules and regulations for nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organizations, introduce tactics and strategies, and explore opportunities for collective action in the coming year.

About this Session:

The coming decade will offer perhaps one of the greatest aggregation of challenges to poor and working families in modern history. Advocacy is an essential best practice for nonprofits, to educate and engage their communities and advocate for just and inclusive solutions. This session will explore what Advocacy is, including definitions and tactics, clarify the do’s and don’ts for 501 c (3) nonprofits, and explore ways to work with others on important advocacy efforts.

Attendees of this session can expect to:

  • Participants will learn what advocacy is and why it matters to nonprofits.
  • Participants will understand the rules and regulations that guide advocacy efforts for nonprofits.
  • Participants will explore best practices for getting started and how to move towards collective action.

About SVP's Boards with Brains series:

SVP Boulder County believes strong nonprofits deliver better results. For our nonprofits to be wildly successful, we believe strong leaders – both staff and board – help create adept organizations. Our Boards with Brains professional development series was designed with that in mind. We’ve got a variety of nonprofit leadership topics, as well as ‘tracks’ and levels to help attendees identify which sessions suit them best.

Our per-session fee is a below-market $40. Individuals or organizations can purchase a transferable, 8-punch pass (giving you a $10 discount on each ticket), and, each session also includes a limited number of scholarship slots (just ask).

Please note, SVP closes registration two days prior to each session and all attendees are asked to register in advance. Day-of drop in participants should understand there may not be space to accomodate them, or sufficient quantities of session materials available. They will be expected to pay on site with a credit card (please note, scholarship and 8-pack pricing is not valid for drop-in attendees).
