Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We will expand our conference faculty and age group staff contacts with specific focus on new targeted geographies
We will leverage our board and marketing efforts to broaden our relationship with faculty members beyond our current key staff. For clarity, this is in addition to their relationships with key staff and not in replacement of those vital relationships.
We will develop a policy on faculty honoraria and develop strategies to encourage members to donate their services
As our financial resources expand, we will identify and hire new staff positions targeted for fundraising and administrative support
We will review our benefit offerings to enable us to meet the needs of current and future staff members
We will develop a long term financial plan and detailed annual plan to ensure the on-going viability of CWD
Cash flow analysis by month to identify potential timing issues and gaps specifically around large conferences
We will develop financial targets and metrics and monitor them on a quarterly basis
Establish a fund balance reserve target
Establish a donor and industry concentration target (ie: 70% industry/30% other)
Establish a benchmark of funds spent on mission versus fundraising/admin to support fundraising reporting needs
We will establish a risk management review process to ensure that our expanding operations are appropriately protected
Insurance levels
Banking protocols with new fundraising methods
Internet security
Physical security
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We have hired a Chief Operating Officer to implement the strategic plan created by an external planning company.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We are strategically seeking new board members with experience in the areas of our newly created strategic plan, in addition to bringing on new staff to deal with the increased workload.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have hired the COO to manage the implementation, created opportunities for DEIA, and have created a transition plan for retiring organizational leadership.
