    Two Visions of America by Don Jans

    Center for Nonprofit Leadership E-newsletter (April 2020)

     

    – April 2020 Edition –

    A Message to the CNL Community

    COVID-19 upended business as usual in a matter of hours in mid-March. What we all thought we knew in the morning was obsolete by nightfall. As a sector with human connection baked into our DNA, we suddenly found ourselves physically distancing, working from home, forced to postpone events and services or in some cases shutting our doors.
     

    One thing is certain, nonprofits can and will adapt
    in unprecedented times to fulfill their missions.

     
    Steadfast in our belief knowledge empowers, the Center for Nonprofit Leadership found ways to serve even as we transitioned to working from home and like other nonprofits postponed face-to-face events, including our Board Leadership and the Nonprofit Resiliency institutes.
     

    We quickly identified partnerships to offer relevant webinars. We teamed up with the Nonprofit Resource Network (NPRN) in Santa Barbara for a session on Designing the Remote Workplace; and with Visionality and the Ventura County Community Foundation for an online presentation on COVID-19 and Nonprofit Employers. Employment attorney Jon Light provided detailed materials on these complex and critical issues.

    Another great resource — LinkedIn Learning, formerly Lynda.com — is included with CNL memberships at every level. This learning platform is teeming with tutorials on leadership, effective teams and productive virtual meetings.  To access these resources, please visit www.myclu.callutheran.edu.  If you are a member and need to access your username and password, please let me know.

    CNL welcomes your suggestions. How can we be of the most service to you? Which workshop topics are most relevant to you now and as we all navigate the post-COVID-19 environment?
     

    Please take a moment to complete this very short survey (less than 5 minutes).

    We hope to see you soon — be it virtually or in person  — and hope you, your family and your colleagues and friends remain safe and healthy.

    Organizations are quickly realizing that this is not just another disaster — the COVID-19 pandemic is fundamentally altering how organizations assess program delivery and forcing them to figure out how to continue to deliver on mission-critical programs virtually. Those organizations who hope to wait this out risk long-term damage.

    Join the team at VISIONALITY for ideas on how to assess and pivot your mission-critical work into the digital realm.The webinar is free to attend, but registration is required.

    Our world is currently going through a period of unprecedented and uncharted change.  How are you dealing with it as a leader? As an organization? Drawing upon William Bridges’ Transitions Framework, this interactive webinar will help nonprofit and foundation staff and board members gain a deeper understanding of how the destabilizing forces of change are impacting their organizations and their own lives. It will also give participants concrete tools and well-tested strategies for helping to guide people through this challenging period.
