Navigating Times of Uncertainty & Turmoil
Conference III, IV, V (Pool Level)
What is happening in Washington, DC, is already cascading down into the free and charitable clinics, creating uncertainty and confusion. On one hand, no sector of the American economy is probably better prepared to deal with uncertainty and confusion that free and charitable clinics. On the other, your response requires a thoughtful assessment of what is happening. In this forum, we want to discuss the data, tools and processes you need to navigate chaos, and ensure that you are positioned to lead your organization confidently and unemotionally through the madness to success.
Presenter: Dave Paule, Principal & Managing Director, Our Fundraising Search

Change Without Chaos: How Nonprofit Leaders Can Build Trust & Morale
Conference II (Pool Level)
Change is inevitable, but how nonprofit leaders guide their teams through transformation determines whether it strengthens or weakens workplace culture. Too often, resistance to change is seen as negativity, when it's really a sign that employees care. In this session, attendees will explore why staff morale drops, common leadership mistakes that erode trust, and how to lead change in a way that builds long-term resilience.

Attendees will learn a trust-building model for navigating change, examine real-world case studies of nonprofits that maintained staff engagement during major transitions, and participate in a short self-reflection exercise to assess their own leadership approach to change. By the end of the session, participants will leave with clear, actionable strategies to lead with transparency, involve staff early, and create a culture where change is readily embraced - not feared.
