The California Association of Nonprofits (CAN), in partnership with the Community Foundations of Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, are presenting Show Me the Money, a one-day conference on nonprofit finance practices.
The conference -- which will be held one week from today: Thursday, May 4, 2006 -- is designed to help you:
* Manage your finances.
* Enhance your human resources.
* Align management with mission.
* Get the inside scoop on policies impacting the way you work.
I won't be able to be there due to other obligations, but I've been to several CAN conferences in the past (both as participant and as a presenter) and they're always informative and fun events.
Our tendency in the nonprofit sector is to put a low priority on our own professional development. We tell ourselves that we simply don't have the time or the money. But we pay the price anyway in burn-out and staff turnover (more about this tomorrow). A few dollars spent on conferences and workshops is a direct investment your organization's future that continues to pay dividends long after the seminar is over.
