Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste: What We Can Learn & How We Can Prepare for the Road Ahead

Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste: What We Can Learn & How We Can Prepare for the Road Ahead
Thursday, September 29 | 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM | Guided Online Conversation

Presented by: Gail Bower, President, Bower & Co. Consulting, LLC

Offered in Partnership with: Bower & Co. Consulting, LLC

Futurist Alvin Toffler suggested that “the illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

Whether you gracefully glided through the pandemic and the other simultaneous crises, or you stumbled through kicking and screaming, you have wisdom and the opportunity for resilience.

While it’s still fresh, let’s explore what we’ve learned and how we might face continued uncertainty—and new crises, such as a potential recession—with more confidence and creativity.

Nonprofit expert and revenue strategist Gail Bower will lead this discussion for nonprofit CEOs, executive directors, and other C-suite leaders. By pausing to acknowledge what we’ve learned and how we might respond differently going forward, we’ll be better prepared to lead our organizations towards 2025 and the decades ahead.

Who this conversation is for:

• Nonprofit CEOs and Executive Directors
• Chief Financial Officers
