How Nonprofit Leaders Can Use Change to Grow Is Focus of Ventureneer Webinar

NEW YORK, NY, April 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) If nonprofits are going to survive, their leaders must understand how to anticipate and adapt to change. Ventureneer's free webinar How Nonprofits Can Thrive in Changing Times. Change can be good -- a new grant! -- or bad -- the loss of an executive director -- or merely challenging -- changes in the demographics of the neighborhood served by the organization.

Like people, organizations go through lifecycles, from start-up to maturity, from an idea that solves a problem to a no-longer-needed institution. Where an organization is in its lifecycle affects how well it can leverage external changes.

The free webinar will be presented on Monday, April 30, 2012, 2-3pm ET, by Dr. John Brothers, an expert on nonprofit development and assessment. He will give an overview of the thinking, research, and real-life experiences behind the recently released book, Building Nonprofit Capacity: A Guide to Managing Change Through Organizational Lifecycles, which he co-authored with Anne Sherman. Brothers will talk about how nonprofit leaders have managed change and used it as an opportunity to strengthen their organizations at different stages in their organizations' lifecycles.

Board members and executive directors of both large and small nonprofits will find that the webinar lays out the ways in which external change and internal maturing can work together.
