Webinar

Leadership succession remains a top concern for foundations, regardless of size or type of organization. The dynamic of family foundations can make the process even more of a unique challenge. Such change can be disruptive to our planning and vision for the future, but we can manage these issues by planning ahead, whether facing change at the board level or with staff.

Economic development can be a challenge and in rural places there are unique factors that create both barriers and opportunities. Join this webinar to learn about the Rural Economic Development Cohort, a partnership program with the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan. 

Join your scholarship peers for this virtual gathering to learn and share best practices. This program is intended for all foundation staff who administer scholarship programs in their communities. The agenda content will be built by attendees and conversations will be hosted in both large and small group breakouts via a virtual meeting, so video camera use is encouraged.

In this webinar, you will hear how foundations have designed their retreats, how to best facilitate conversations, and best practices for engaging the next generation.
