Financial Leadership for Executive Directors
The Executive Director is an important member of the finance team and often functions as the organization’s key financial manager. Created specifically for executive directors of nonprofits with small budgets, participants will discuss how to establish a culture of financial responsibility and accountability and how to define and manage appropriate roles and responsibilities for financial functions. Key topics will include how to integrate realistic budgeting into annual and long-term plans, how to understand and interpret financial information for different stakeholders, and how to work with bookkeepers, auditors, the finance committee and boards. Please be prepared to share your experiences and to ask questions of peers.
