DAY 1 – November 11, 2009
8:00 am - 8:30 am
Continental Breakfast at the CLED
8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Financial Health and Management (Intensive)—3 credits
An understanding of financial management is critical to leaders of non-profit organizations. This course starts with a review of the financial reports that you are required to produce, including financial statements, government reports and budgets. You will then learn how to use these reports in strategic planning to evaluate the present and predict the future financial health of your organization. After a short break, you will discuss methods that can be used to both increase the integrity of your financial reports and reduce any potential for cash losses.
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Lunch at CLED
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Developing Effective Oversight Boards (Required)—1 credit
An effective oversight board (Board of Directors, Trustees, etc) is essential for any successful organization. Understanding the distinction between governance and management is important. Board members have a different role from the leaders of your Programs. They make policy decisions about the broad strategic goals and finances of your Program, they select, hire and evaluate the performance of your CEO or Executive Director, but they should not be involved in the day-to-day management of your Program. This workshop will give you valuable insights and techniques for building and maintaining an effective board.
2:45 pm - 4:15 pm
Volunteer Management 101 (Required)—1 credit
An effective volunteer program doesn’t just “happen.” There are ten functions that, if properly implemented, will provide structure for the program, support your volunteers and integrate volunteerism into the management fabric of your Meals On Wheels program. Job descriptions relate to each of the functions, as do risk management issues. This workshop will provide a thorough overview for implementation once back home.
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Conducting Effective Meetings (Elective)—1 credit
Running an effective meeting is a necessary skill for an effective leader. Regardless of whether a meeting is about problem solving, strategic planning or routine operational topics, to be successful, a meeting needs an outline of the purpose for the meeting, an agenda with the topics to be discussed, a predetermined time frame, and a committed group of participants. This course will give you practical guidance on how to ensure that each of your meetings will produce maximum productivity.
DAY 2 – November 12, 2009
8:30 am - 9:00 am
Continental Breakfast at the CLED
9:00 am - 10:30 am
Developing Vision and Mission (Required)—1 credit
Great leaders are able to articulate and arouse enthusiasm for a shared vision. Developing vision as a leader means you create an aspirational framework for the future. Your mission states where you are at this moment, i.e. what services does your Program provide, who is your audience, and who are the beneficiaries? Having a vision helps you, as a leader, inspire the people you work with and give direction to implementing your objectives and achieving your goal. This workshop introduces the elements of leadership that enable participants to empower people and bring change to your Program.
10:45 am - 12:15 pm
Strategic Long Term Planning (Elective)—1 credit
Confused by conflicting ideas about strategic planning? Well, you’re not alone! Attend this session and learn new ideas regarding how community benefit organizations create the future by crafting, monitoring, and constantly updating exciting and relevant plans. Topics to be discussed include: compelling visions; missions that matter and strategies that effectively connect the dots.
12:15 pm - 1:15 pm
Lunch at CLED
1:15 pm - 2:45 pm
Decision Making and Problem Solving (Required)—1 credit
An organization’s success depends on its leaders’ ability to make decisions and solve problems. As leaders of a Senior Nutrition Program, you are regularly confronted with problems and asked to make decisions. Sometimes, these problems are easy to resolve, sometimes hard, but it helps if you understand the process of problem solving and decision making and learn to break it down in steps. This workshop will discuss the different steps of the process: defining the problems, gathering information, identifying the stakeholders, exploring potential solutions, weighing alternative solutions, deciding on the best alternative, and implementing and managing this solution.
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Nutrition 101 (Required)—1 credit
This survey course provides you with a comprehensive overview of nutrition program fundamentals, including: Nutritional needs of the older adult; Nutrition program outcomes; Mandated program Standards—Federal, State, Local; Nutrition services provided; and Types of food delivery systems.
DAY 3 – November 13, 2009
8:30 am - 9:00 am
Continental Breakfast at the CLED
9:00 am - 10:30 am
Developing Successful Personal Relationships (Required)—1 credit
Winning teams don’t just happen–they are created by great leaders. Leading and managing people and developing positive personal relationships, whether they are your clients, staff, vendors or the media, requires you to have highly developed interpersonal skills. How you interact with people has a direct impact on your productivity, the performance and satisfaction of your employees, the recruitment and retention of talented staff and volunteers and the establishment of quality ongoing relationships with all your stakeholders.
10:45 am - 12:15 pm
Development 101 (Required)— 1 credit)
This survey course provides you with a comprehensive overview of development fundamentals, discussing a range of techniques for giving—from membership, direct mail, and on-line giving to corporate, foundation, and individual major gifts. You will discuss how these various techniques are connected and how you can identify which techniques are the most appropriate for your Program.
12:15 pm - 1:15 pm
Lunch at CLED
1:15 pm - 2:45 pm
Communications 101 (Required)—1 credit
Communication skills are crucial for leaders. To be an effective leader, you must first be a good communicator and understand fundamental communication skills. The ability to get your message across clearly and succinctly—in spoken, written and electronic communications—is a crucial tool for interacting and working with clients, staff and vendors. However, having good listening skills is just as important. Good listeners tend to have higher productivity in their jobs and are able to influence people, to persuade and negotiate better and to avoid conflict and misunderstandings. This course will give you an overview of the communication skills leaders need to be effective.
2:45 pm - 4:15 pm
Time and Stress Management (Elective)—1 credit
Have you ever been overwhelmed by last minute rushes to meet deadlines, scheduled meetings at a time you had already reserved for another activity or attended meetings that achieved nothing? Do you have days that seem to slip by unproductively? Have you dealt with crises that emerged unexpectedly? All these factors can lead to stress and lower levels of performance. This course will teach you techniques to control the use of your most important resource—time.
4:30 pm - 5:00 pm
