Nonprofit Affinity Group / Creative Leadership: Practical Ways to Do More with Less in Your Nonprofit
The Chamber's Nonprofit Affinity Group gathers the first Thursday of most months to connect with each other and benefit from some professional development. We start at 12:30 with time to network, then have our presenter begin at 1 pm. We welcome you to join us!
This month: Creative Leadership: Practical Ways to Do More with Less in Your Nonprofit
Join fellow nonprofit leaders for a highly interactive, engaging roundtable led by leadership coach and speaker Bobby Hulme-Lippert (BHL Coaching). Together, we’ll explore simple, repeatable ways to strengthen your organization’s creativity – the ability to see new options, unlock the wisdom already in your people, and move forward with momentum and clarity.
You’ll leave with:
• Greater clarity on your next best strategic priorities
• Fresh, practical ideas for stretching time and capacity without burning out your people
• A ready-to-use “Calm is a Creative Multiplier” meeting prompt to spark better problem-solving and shared ownership.
