Location: Farr Branch Regional Library. The Intentional Nonprofit.

The environment in which our organizations do their work is rapidly changing: new technologies, emerging best practices in management and programming, demographic shifts, innovative business models and economic booms and busts. To have maximum mission impact, the smart nonprofit intentionally develops and implements a framework of principles and priorities. This foundation enables the organization to seize opportunities and address problems proactively and objectively. Unfortunately, this framework has gotten a bad name: “strategic planning.”
