In October, Andy Robinson will be leading a five-day intensive at Hollyhock: Nonprofit Leadership Skills for Social Change. He will cover everything you need to run a successful, visionary nonprofit: strong mission, board leadership, fundraising, messaging and marketing, succession planing, avoiding burnout, and more. If you need to re-charge your batteries, or you want to learn skills that you can apply immediately, please join him. Scholarships are available, and Hollyhock will be lovely in the fall.

Nonprofit Leadership Skills for Social Change
October 12-16, 2011

Effective nonprofit leadership requires clarity of purpose, flexibility, stamina, money smarts, and the ability to inspire others to do their best work. Learn how to build and grow sustainable, effective, well-funded organizations that create real change.

Explore and discuss:

• Vision and purpose: What's your true work?
• How leadership needs change throughout the life of an organization
• Building a board that works
• Hiring and supervising staff
• Creating a sustainable funding base
• Leadership for the long haul: time management, self-care, and succession planning

Participants will leave with the outline of a plan to sustain themselves and their organizations as well as to recruit the next generation of leaders.

Andy Robinson has provided training and consulting support for over 15 years to nonprofits across Canada and in 47 U.S. states. He specializes in the needs of grassroots organizations working for social justice, human rights, and environmental conservation. Andy is the author of four books, including Selling Social Change and Big Gifts for Small Groups. www.andyrobinsononline.com
