Wednesday March 12, 2025 9:00am - 9:45am MDT
Lupine
As nonprofit leaders, all of us are convinced the people we serve deserve the highest levels of excellence we can possibly give them. However, most of us are so focused on serving those outwardly, we don’t invest enough time, talent, and energy on our inward, internal systems that would actually ensure greater impact and greater reach. Next Level Nonprofit is a series of timeless principles that ensure all of us can build the dream teams we’re longing for, serve more people, and serve them far more effectively.

Wednesday March 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:45pm MDT
Foxtail 2
Nonprofits are the heartbeat of change, but recent trends show we’re losing momentum. Did you know only 31% of nonprofits have engaged in advocacy or lobbying in the past five years? That’s down from 74% in 2000.

This dynamic, interactive workshop will spark your passion and reignite your nonprofit’s advocacy efforts. You’ll discover the building blocks of effective advocacy, break down the myths about lobbying, and walk away with practical strategies to influence public policy.

Participants can anticipate engaging hands-on activities, such as developing impactful elevator pitches and identifying a network of key allies to strengthen their advocacy efforts. Whether you are new to advocacy or seeking to enhance your existing skills, this session provides an opportunity to empower your organization to create lasting and transformative impact.

Ditch the Drama - Build Healthy Connections on Your Team SEATS AVAILABLE
Wednesday March 12, 2025 3:15pm - 4:00pm MDT
Sand Lily
Raise your hand if you can think of recent drama at work? Sometimes we find ourselves asking, “Why can’t I just do my job and stop dealing with all these people problems?!” Too often, teams become mired in unhealthy dynamics. While levels of drama on teams vary, we know it’s easy to get stuck in emotions, reactions, and power plays.

Stats tell us this problem is pervasive. A Gallup poll found 71% of employees are disengaged to the point that they consider quitting their jobs about once a day. A different study found that the average leader spends 2.5 hours per day dealing with drama that creates “emotional waste” at work.

Getting unstuck from disempowering team dynamics can be tricky AND it can be powerful. Join us to learn how to move your team forward.

Master Your Message: How to be comfortable networking and speaking about your non profit SEATS AVAILABLE
Wednesday March 12, 2025 3:15pm - 4:00pm MDT
Foxtail 2
Sue Sutton will start with a short history of her radio career and then move into an interactive mastermind-style session. Participants will discuss some fears about networking and speaking and how they solved or moved past those fears (or not).
Sue will then outline the material to be covered, including how to use radio copyrighting for networking, a couple of exercises that participants will engage in, and a fun and possibly a little scary audio assignment to practice what they've learned. Sue will provide tip sheets with a place for notes and will answer questions as the session progresses.
By the end of the session, participants will know how to write their message, and then be concise when speaking and networking in various settings. They will have mastered their message (or at least made a good start) and will feel more confident and comfortable in their networking efforts.
Sue will also offer a free 5-7 minute interview on her radio show to promote the participants' nonprofit and showcase what they have learned. She is also available to speak to groups and companies about this topic for no charge.
