Building Better Nonprofit Meetings 2.0: Tools for Effective Collaboration & Clear Communication
Topic: Building Better Nonprofit Meetings 2.0: Tools for Effective Collaboration & Clear Communication
Meetings can be powerful tools for collaboration and impact—when they’re designed with clarity, intention, and follow-through. This interactive follow-up webinar builds on Building Better Nonprofit Meetings: Agenda Building 101 and takes a deeper dive into ensuring post-meeting accountability. Participants can expect a presentation on the material, followed by opportunities to interact in small groups with other attendees.
Participants will explore:
Agenda Building in Action – Revisit key agenda-setting principles with an emphasis on translating discussions into tangible outcomes.
The Art of Crafting Discussion Items – Learn how to frame discussion topics that encourage focus, inclusivity, and strategic decision-making, striking the right balance between leadership and collaboration.
Task Delineation for Shared Productivity – Ensure every meeting ends with clear action steps, defined ownership, and accountability structures that drive real progress.
Whether you're leading a board meeting, facilitating a staff check-in, or organizing a coalition gathering, this workshop will equip you with practical tools to make your meetings more engaging, purposeful, and results driven. Join us to strengthen your meeting culture and maximize impact!
This webinar will build on Building Better Meetings, pt. 1, held in January, but attendance of the first one is not required.
