STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR NONPROFITS -- Good strategic planning helps nonprofits clarify where their organization is going, how it's going to get there, and how it will know when it's arrived. It creates the framework for board and staff to focus their energy and resources toward common goals.
This half-day workshop from 9 a.m. to noon on Feb. 24 at Honolulu Community Action Program, 33 South King St., Suite 300, Honolulu, is a practical introduction to the key concepts and techniques of strategic planning and will help participants understand how to design an effective planning process that meets their organization’s needs.

Besides workshops on core nonprofit topics like board governance, financial management, fund development and advocacy, HANO also provides strategic and business planning facilitation, executive coaching and other management consulting services.
