SUMMARY:Survey Design Best Practices: Actionable Strategies & Insights
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nSurveys are the least demanding\, most scalable way to collect insights about your members. And if you’re not surveying them regularly\, everything your association does—from communications to program design—is merely guesswork. This age-old method can be understated today—but the survey is alive and well in the array of modern marketing technology.   \nThe good news? Surveys are cheap and easy. The bad news? Surveys are cheap and easy. Because surveys are so simple to write and distribute\, most associations ask bad questions (inevitably leading to bad data). It’s easy to conduct surveys so quietly flawed that they deliver inaccurate\, biased\, useless insights. If your surveys aren’t carefully crafted\, you’ll end up with untrustworthy results. In this session\, you’ll become a survey savant by learning modern strategies to create\, distribute\, and analyze member surveys. More importantly\, you’ll learn the common pitfalls to avoid in the science of survey building so you can take full advantage of this dynamic way to collect member insights. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn the six principles of good survey design.\nLearn how to create a survey strategy that collects the data you actually need.\nLearn how to analyze the data objectively so you can make meaningful changes in your organization.

SUMMARY:Best Practices For Puting Together a Nonprofit Strategic Plan
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAssociations of all shapes and sizes engage in strategic planning that often results the creation of a multi-year strategic plan. A meaningful strategic plan sets the Association’s priorities and focuses the leadership and staff on execution of those priorities.  Many associations are so focused on the creation of the plan itself that the plan loses meaning and often aren’t executed. Through the implementation of best practices and the avoidance of common pitfalls every organization can create a meaningful strategic plan through a process that is right sized to fit their organization. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nUnderstand key factors in developing and communicating a strategic plan.\nDiscussion on the impact your board composition can have on your strategic plan design and funding.\nDiscuss different ways strategic plans are funded.

SUMMARY:W373: Sizing and Investing Nonprofit Reserves
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nMost nonprofit organizations and associations should have an “emergency fund” of operating reserves to offset the risk of revenues failing to cover expenses. \nBut amid inflation and market volatility\, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for how much you should set aside—and whether to hold reserves in cash or invest them. In this upcoming FAR conversation\, institutional finance experts will present a clear framework for mitigating your specific risks. \nJordan Forney will speak with Chris Clarkson\, a national director from Bernstein’s Foundation & Institutional Advisory team\, to present a thoughtful approach and framework that executives can use to adjust the size and allocation of short and intermediate term investments amid today’s high levels of inflation. \nDetermine whether you should maintain higher (or lower) reserves than any “rules of thumb” may otherwise indicate\, and how to put funds to use across a risk/return spectrum appropriate for your specific purposes in today’s volatile environment. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nUnderstand the impact of today’s macroeconomic environment on investment reserves.\nRecognize the questions to ask regarding your organization’s cashflow and investment needs.\nAssess different investment strategies for different types of reserve funds.

SUMMARY:W354:  Data Breach Preparedness: The Reality of ID Theft and Data Breach Incidents
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nMore and more companies are at risk of becoming victims of a data breach incident\, and yet most companies do not have an up-to-date data breach response plan in place.
