This full-day workshop, led by Dodge’s former President and CEO, sets the stage for the whole Board series by exploring essential questions of organizational development and culture. Using Susan Kenny Steven’s award-winning book, Nonprofit Lifecycles, we explore the predictable challenges that nonprofit staff and board members will face as they grow and evolve.  <SPAN STYLE="color: #1a1718; font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Book','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'MS Mincho'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Book'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">We will re-think assessment practices, learn how to plan backwards from a vision of success, examine ways to “measure what matters” most to your organization, and improve the work as a result.  And finally, we will learn how to think about change as something we design rather than something that happens to us, and  establish ”a learning culture” that will help your organization take the necessary steps to prepare for the transformative impact of the workshops to follow. 
Each participating nonprofit organization must bring a team of up to 3 people which includes the Executive Director (or comparable staff) and Board Chair (or Vice Chair). We recommend bringing a total of two board members since this will be the team responsible for bringing the learning back to the full board.
