Workshop DescriptionResource Development: Beyond Federal Grants Irma Simpson, Moderator, Gannett Foundation Stepping back and focusing on "the big picture" helps you plan for tomorrow. This panel workshop, moderated by Irma Simpson, begins as Christine Hyland examines Charitable Giving 2004 (a) where the money came from and (b) Where the money went. Where is your organization in terms of its life stages e.g. infant, teen, young adult, middle aged, senior citizen? Are you developing and using age-appropriate development and public relation tools? It's all about cultivating relationships-and ASKING! To give you practical insight into foundations and private donors, Danielle Reyes will speak about the Meyer Foundation's grant making program specifically and foundation grant making generally, offering insight into the grant seeking and grant making process, and Kim Tran will speak about the fundraising strategies employed by the United Way , including its well-known capital campaign. Nonprofit Leadership Forum Daphne Kwok, Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies How do you "win friends and influence people"? How can you be assertive when you are not naturally so, and how do you know when you have gone from assertive to aggressive? How do authority, respect and age play into one's ability to take on a leadership role? Is there a way to offer constructive criticism without hurting an employee's feelings? These questions and more may be raised during our Non-profit Leadership Open Forum, where the audience is the panel . Daphne Kwok, Executive Director of the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies, will guide the discussion. Nonprofit Sector, Define Thyself! Peter V. Berns, Standards of Excellence Institute Government and the media are focusing intense scrutiny on governance and management practices in the nonprofit sector. Barely a week goes by without reading about a new scandal or far-reaching proposal for additional government regulation and law enforcement. Peter V. Berns, Executive Director of the Standards for Excellence Institute, will share his views about the crisis of confidence affecting nonprofits and how the nonprofit sector should respond. He will address the factors undermining public trust in the nonprofit sector and discuss the Institute's innovative approach to nonprofit self-regulation that was developed in Maryland and is spreading across the nation. Serving Community Health Needs Louise Peloquin, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration How can we identify and develop programs to meet the health needs of our community? During this session, Louise Peloquin and Captain John Tuskan will present the Office of Refugee Resettlement's National Refugee Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Initiative ( Points of Wellness: Partnering for Refugee Health & Well-Being ), which will include a discussion of the theory and concepts of health promotion and disease prevention as well as the important role of community-based and other ethnic-based organizations in these activities. Community health experts and practioners, Jeff Caballero of AAPCHO and Dr. Ho Tran of APIAHF, will be resources in discussing the practical application of the recently-published Refugee Health Promotion & Disease Prevention Toolkit, to be distributed during the workshop. Additionally, a prioritized review of Vietnamese American health issues will be presented. Social Change Model for Leadership Development Long Nguyen, NAVASA Lead Consultant The social change model is designed to enhance the development of leadership qualities in all participants - those who hold formal leadership positions as well as those who do not - and to promote a process that is inclusive and actively engages all who wish to contribute. In this model, to be presented by NAVASA Lead Consultant Long Nguyen, leadership is viewed as a process rather than as a position and the values of equity, social justice, self-knowledge, personal empowerment, collaboration, citizenship, and service are promoted. Come and learn about this progressive model for developing leaders and about some approaches organizations, such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation (Thomas Kern) and CityYear DC (Brett Norton), have taken to promote leadership development and social change. Community Mobilization Trinh Nguyen, Boston Women's Fund Collaborative change depends on maximum community involvement to create robust, collectively-owned and implemented change. More and more communities and change initiatives are realizing the importance of involving the community in designing and supporting the programs that impact them. There is growing recognition of the need for greater involvement of various voices in change initiatives at the organizational, community and issue-wide scale. The dilemma for change agents and leaders of these change efforts is how to increase involvement in a way that is appropriate, effective, and meaningful. In this session, Trinh Nguyen of the Boston Women's Fund will help answer the following questions: What have local organizations, communities, and individuals done to successfully gain community interest and involvement in, and commitment to, self-help and community change? What forms of support can community members offer? On what levels and at what stages should communities be involved? How do you organize this effort? Rich Stolz from the Center for Community Change will present practical application of community organizing through non-partisan voter activity that built political power and developed community leadership. (Re)defining and Marketing your Mission Daniel Krotz, Independent Consultant Mission statements are often neglected by organizational leaders and staff. Consequently, these organizations often experience mission "drift," poor board and staff morale, a focus on short term plans and opportunities, and operate in an environment of crisis. Daniel Krotz will lead this workshop to help staffs, managers, and agency leadership learn how Mission Driven organizations thrive in hard times, retain staffs, and become trusted and valuable members of and within the community they serve. Mission Marketing presents a tool that agency staff can take back to their organizations to objectively "test"--by using common marketing strategies--how well their agency is realizing its mission. "Open Forum" Youth and Elders Sessions Sandy Hoa Dang, Asian American LEAD Raise your voice! The youth and elders open forums allow you the chance to voice the needs of your community and the challenges and triumphs of your organization, while enjoying a light breakfast. These consecutive sessions will begin with a short presentation of resources available for youth and elder programming. After the resource presentations, the floor will be turned over to the audience. Sandy Hoa Dang, Executive Director of Asian American LEAD, will open the first of session by providing an overview of resources available for families and youth. Calvin Dawson's presentation will focus on the resources that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has available for youth programming and youth-serving organizations. Highlights will include the Learn and Serve America Program, which offers grants focusing on student service through Service-Learning and on recognition programs for youth, and information on accessing CNCS resources. Brian Lutz' presentation, which will open the elders session, will focus on the resources and priorities of the Administration on Aging in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
