UWP hosts Planning for Nonprofits Workshop Mar. 23

The Center for Community Partnerships (CCP) at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside invites leaders of area nonprofits to the Planning for Nonprofits Workshop Friday, Mar. 23, on the campus at 900 Wood Rd. in Kenosha.

The workshop covers the types of planning nonprofits must do to operate effectively, ways to do it yourself, and ways to work with consultants along with plan implementation, and keeping plans current through an annual work plan. The roles of  board members, staff, and volunteers in organizational planning are also discussed.

Presenter Mark Gesner oversees CCP's outreach in workforce development, facilitation services, youth mentoring, and program evaluation. Specializing in long range planning, he provides planning facilitation services for community and business groups including strategic planning, meeting facilitation, and coalition building.

Cost of the workshop is $150 which includes lunch and all course materials. Participants are asked to register by Tuesday, Mar. 20.
