SUMMARY:How to Improve the Financial Health of Your Company | Key Steps
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nFinancial health is a key component of sustainability and could be argued the most important factor. Without financial health\, nonprofit organizations will be greatly limited in their efforts to deliver on mission\, procure funding\, and be a sphere of influence.

We will finish with a “Quick Takeaways” roundtable discussion covering short and intermediate cash management\, monthly distribution of financial reports\, and the importance of regular communications between development and finance departments and cash management target Policies. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Learn about how to help senior management to better understand the balance sheet\nand operating reserves and impact on financial health.\n– Explore options and strategies for managing overhead expenses and allocation of\nindirect costs and the hidden benefits from expanded segregation of duties.\n– Learn about the benefits of short and intermediate cash management strategies and\nmonthly distribution of financial reports.\n– Discover how enhancing communications between the finance department and\ndevelopment department is critical to compliance and meeting donor expectations and\npromises.\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Best Practices for a Software Integration: Key Considerations
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nMany associations are adopting the software ecosystem approach. Instead of using one piece of software to do everything\, they use multiple pieces of software that each do a small set of tasks very well. But all this software must be connected to get the maximum benefit from this approach. And here’s where integrations come in. Integrations are the glue that allows data to flow between systems\, and they’re a new topic for many associations. \nWicket plays right in the center of the integration space. We’ve worked with many associations across hundreds of integrations and have learned much about what works and what does not. In this session\, we’ll help you find and get the most out of the integrations you need at your association.  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Understanding the importance of integrations and their role in your software ecosystem.\n– Key things to consider when selecting software to make sure you’ll be able to integrate.\n– How to incorporate integrations into your ecosystem and what’s required of you once they’re up and running.

SUMMARY:S403: Spring Symposium: CFO Panel Discussion -- Future Proofing the Office of the Association/Non-profit CFO
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAccording to the 2020 Global CEO Survey conducted by PwC\, a shocking 40 percent of respondent CEOs believe their companies will no longer be economically viable after ten years if they continue with their current strategies. A stark reminder that in this rapidly advancing digital age\, organizations must strive for change and transformation if they wish to survive the coming decade. The survey suggests that a multi-dimensional approach is required; one that focuses on automation and innovation while rethinking and refining business models\, operations\, and customer experiences. Clearly\, only those who recognize their need to evolve and adapt to external factors will be able to maintain their vitality in the long run. \n“Future proofing the office of the CFO” recognizes the reality that the role of the CFO has drastically evolved over the years\, and will continue to do so in the future. CFOs are now seen as the CEO’s strategic business partner\, equipped with an understanding not only of the company’s budget but also the economics of trends occurring in their field\, giving them unique insight and enabling them to create business value and fuel transformation. \nToday’s CFO is just as much the organization’s Chief Transformation and Risk Officer\, as it is evident that their abilities go far beyond merely crunching numbers. With this newfound responsibility bestowed upon them\, CFOs have become increasingly important figures in leading their organization towards successful transformations. \nIn this panel discussion\, you will learn how 3 CFOs of leading Associations/Nonprofits are working towards future-proofing their role and their organization. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn about the evolving role of the CFO in transforming the organizations that they help to lead.\nGain insight into how CFO’s are focusing on automation and innovation\nLearn how CFOs are functioning as the Chief Transformation and Chief Risk Officer of the organization.\n\n  \nYou can also join us IN-PERSON in Washington\, D.C! (for Associations & Nonprofit Professionals) \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 23\, 2023\n10:00 AM – 2:00 PM @Bernstein Private Wealth Management\n\n800 Connecticut Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20006\n\n\nRegistration:  $25 (includes 4 sessions\, lunch & Happy Hour) You will be invoiced after registration. \nUp to 3 CPE/CAE Credits

SUMMARY:SPRING SYMPOSIUM\, Washington D.C. (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:IN-PERSON (FOCUS: Management | Accounting | Finance) \nAssociation Professionals\, join us in Washington\, D.C. for an in-person one day only event! \n\n\n\n\n-Thursday\, March 23\, 2023\n-10:00 AM – 2:00 PM\n-800 Connecticut Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20006 (Bernstein Private Wealth Management)\n-Registration:  No charge. Lunch will be provided. \n-Up to 3 CPE/CAE Credits\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Details\nSession 1: Economic Outlook: Recession 2023? Two (2) Perspectives to Help You With Budget and Scenario Planning for Your Association/Nonprofit \n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM \nInstructors: Travis A. Allen\, Senior Investment Strategist\, National Managing Director at Alliance Bernstein and Santiago Alfredo Guzman\, Head of Middle Market FI Sales at Santander Bank\, N.A. \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nWith the world emerging from pandemic-inflicted economic shock and continuing geopolitical turmoil\, the future economic outlook of business and industry in 2023 has yet to be determined. Though economists remain divided on whether a recession will occur in the year 2023\, most expect that 2023 will not be a strong year for growth. Companies may experience short-term setbacks but long-term strategies should focus on smart investments\, adaptive strategies\, agile operations and increased labor productivity. \nIn this session\, the participant will gain insights from two (2) different perspectives on the Economic Outlook.  Consider these different perspectives\, and use those insights to help you in your budget and financial scenario planning for your Association/Nonprofit organization. \nTwo perspectives from: \nAlliance Bernstein: After a year [2022] full of surprises\, we look ahead to 2023 prepared for even more. The two “shuns”—inflation and\, increasingly\, recession—form the heart of our questions for the global economy and markets next year. What path will they take? And\, if they do take the world by surprise\, which direction seems likeliest? \nSantander Bank: Growth and inflation will still be causes for concern next year; but markets are already showing signs of a comeback. We expect that confirmation of peak inflation in Q1 2023 may lead to a pause in interest rate hikes by central banks\, which would set in motion the recovery process in fixed-income markets. The recovery of more cyclical assets\, like equities\, should get underway in H2 2023 if central banks announce lower interest rates. More than ever\, it is paramount to balance a short and long-term vision when managing investments as investors should not ignore the need to be invested in real assets and in thematics related to innovation and sustainability. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn about what key factors will impact the economic outlook for 2023\nGain insight into two (2) perspectives on the economy and how that might impact your organization and the industry you serve.\nTakeaway some factors to consider as you develop your next budget and financial scenario plans.\n\n\nSession 2: Building an Effective Audit Committee \n11:15 AM – 12:15 PM  \nInstructor: Rob Eby\, CPA\, CGMA; Partner National Nonprofit Segment Leader\, Aprio LLP \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAn effective audit committee can be an exempt organization’s leaders best friend.  As the number and intensity of risks faced by exempt organizations grow so does the responsibilities and stress of senior leadership.   Let us have our audit committees come beside leaders to create a strategic team.  The audit committee can be staffed with members who have varying experience and knowledge to address the growing risks.  In this course\, we will discuss how to build and use the audit committee to protect and strengthen exempt organizations. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn who should be on the committee.\nLearn how to develop an audit committee charter.\nIdentify methods to assess risks.\nFind ways to engage the audit committee.\n\n\nLUNCH – 12: 15 PM – 1:00 PM  \n\nSession 3: CFO Panel Discussion — Future Proofing the Office of the Association/Non-profit CFO \n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM \nDiscussion led by: Ilana Esterrich\, CFO\, Planned Parenthood\, PP Global\, and PP Action Fund; Mary Mohney\, CFO\, AGU; and Brian Green\, CFO\, CHPA \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAccording to the 2020 Global CEO Survey conducted by PwC\, a shocking 40 percent of respondent CEOs believe their companies will no longer be economically viable after ten years if they continue with their current strategies.

The recovery of more cyclical assets\, like equities\, should get underway in H2 2023 if central banks announce lower interest rates. More than ever\, it is paramount to balance a short and long-term vision when managing investments as investors should not ignore the need to be invested in real assets and in thematics related to innovation and sustainability. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn about what key factors will impact the economic outlook for 2023\nGain insight into two (2) perspectives on the economy and how that might impact your organization and the industry you serve.\nTakeaway some factors to consider as you develop your next budget and financial scenario plans.\n\n  \n  \nYou can also join us IN-PERSON in Washington\, D.C!
