Are you worried?
The current situation for the nonprofit sector is highly changeable and changing fast. Every day there’s a new worry turning up around your mission, your funding, and your future.
Where does your IT fit into this new world? Is your IT strategy flexible, and have you revisited your IT planning, performance, and policies? As you examine your finances, what IT is essential and where can you afford to pare back without hurting your productivity and morale? Do you have some smart savings opportunities lurking in your IT budget that could help your organization in this moment? Is your cybersecurity up to date and do your staff know how to protect your organization and data? Perhaps most importantly, how are your staff coping with all this stress?
What are the top steps to take NOW to adapt your IT quickly to the new nonprofit sector reality?
Join Senior Consultant Nuradeen Aboki and ask your questions about priorities, strategy, and next steps. Nura has been in nonprofit IT for decades and has enormous experience helping our clients’ executives strategize priorities and cut through the noise to the essentials. Ask him your questions at registration and during this webinar. This is a perfect opportunity to get guidance and reassurance.
What you are doing matters. Don’t burnout with worry but don’t leave your organization vulnerable either.
