Our non-profit, educational, religious and social service organizations have the opportunity to participate in the Chamber’s Non-Profit Roundtable, formed in 2012. The group meets quarterly and offers the opportunity for professionals to share best practices and hear expert speakers on a variety of relevant topics. It is our goal to help build an even stronger community of support for you and your constituents and for Skokie as a whole.

Some of the topics we think might be important to discuss are:

• Membership Retention and Growth
• Finances (Endowment Programs, Record-keeping)
• Outreach and Publicity
• Communication – Websites, Signage and Social Media
• Program Offerings
• Board and Leadership Development; By-Laws/Governing Documents that Work
• Volunteer and Staff Management
• Insurance and Liability
• Capital Campaigns, Building Programs and Fundraising
• Cultural Diversity and Inclusion
• Administration and Technological Support

 

You may have other issues to add to this list, and together we can prioritize what it most important to the group and your organization.
