Our Executive Seminars are intended for executive directors and senior managers. Our topics are nontechnical and focused on strategic decision making issues, especially those communication issues affecting budgeting, staffing, job responsibilities, management, planning, and conflict resolution.
 

If email is the lifeblood of nonprofit communication, then executives are its heart. Nonprofit leaders can make or break an organization's capacity for online communication, whether it's because of their own email habits, their support for authentic voices, or in their understanding of the assets that often lay hidden in the veins and arteries of the flow of email. This series will empower you to seize on email as a tool for realizing your vision of communication for your organization.

Session 1: The Crucial Role of the ED in Setting the Tone for Communication: The elusive and powerful concept of 'voice' has emerged as a key factor in the success of online communication. This is particularly true of email, because it is such a personal medium.

Session 2: Priorities and Boundaries in Handling Your Own Email: The sheer volume of email communication has created a multitude of challenges for nonprofit organizations. Not the least of these challenges is the difficulty of setting effective and empowering priorities in executive communication. For many people, email has become the new To Do List, which grows larger by the day.

Session 3: The Hidden Assets of Your Organizational Email: Despite its ubiquity, email is an underutilized resource. It's in email that we record what we care about, who we work with, and what we know. Email, as a recent article stated, is the new database.
