Event Navigation
Many Halftime Alumni are deeply invested in businesses, nonprofits, and ministries that are struggling today as a result of the current crisis. As social entrepreneurs, business owners, and board members, many are facing unexpected layoffs, forfeiting incomes, and other cost-cutting measures to survive and carry on with producing valuable (and in many cases faith-focused) work.
Do you find yourself facing these challenges or others like them? Are you asking how to best navigate so that you make it through to the other side even stronger?
Please join us on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8 at 7:00PM CT for a 30-minute webinar.
During this 30-minute webinar, Halftime Alum, Chris Crane, will join Doug Piper and I to discuss creative ways you can advance your mission even in the midst of a crisis. For anyone who is able to join us, we will have an additional 30 minutes for Q&A at the end of the webinar.
Together, we will explore:
- Ideas for addressing the important tasks that often get pushed to the back-burner when you are running at full speed, such as:
- Developing a good Board skill map
- Making needed updates and changes to by-laws
- Constructing guard rails to stay mission true
- Best practices for conserving cash
- Helpful guidelines for how and when to make appropriate cuts
