The greatest distinguishing factor of the strongest nonprofits is the board. While the U.S. has not experienced a crisis exactly like COVID-19 in recent history, we have experienced other crises that led to similar levels of anxiety. During times of crisis, the board is one of your organization’s most important resources.

During this webinar, we will discuss how to leverage your board to advance your mission and amplify your impact within the community. Schuyler Lehman, Founder & CEO of Mission Advancement, will share from his more than 30 years of development experience. This discussion will cover strategies you can implement today to keep engaged with your donors during these difficult times.

In these unprecedented times, leaders have cancelled events, are working from home, and watching the economic fallout of this pandemic. Therefore, we’ve partnered with Brad Layland, CEO of The FOCUS Group to provide some professional guidance for school and ministry leaders as they humbly and boldly pursue fundraising goals while honoring the relationship with their donors and community. This is a continued series of webinars in partnership with CACE, Baylor’s Center for Christian Education, The FOCUS Group, World Vision, and Lewis Rothberger Rocca.

 March 23, 2020 Update from the Organizers

Dear Deeper Learners,

We are extending our early bird discount for the Deeper Learning Institute until April 13th.
Even then, it seems unlikely we will be able to host the institute in June. We are looking at an alternative date of August 9-14. We will decide by April 13.

It would help us to have an indication that you might be interested in sending someone, whenever the institute is scheduled. If you send me an email by April 13 saying how many participants you think might be interested, I’ll put you on the list to attend at the discounted rate whenever the institute is held. No commitment necessary.

If we find out that it’s really too much for any of you to even think about now, we may decide to simply cancel for this year.

Grace and Peace,
Steven and Joanna
