Tables for Ten for Finance Directors and CFOs

2019-01-07T15:21:18-05:00March 27th, 2018|Events, Member News, Nonprofit Resources, Training Opportunities|

The Finance Director (CFO or COO) plays a unique role in a nonprofit organization. According to a recent survey of finance directors, challenges include: wearing many hats–the Finance Director might also be in charge of HR, IT, and more; reporting to both the Executive Director and the Board of Directors; managing cash flow in cash-challenged organizations; multiple grant requirements; and the need to be both strategic and involved in day to day operations. Often the Finance Director is the only member of the staff who truly understands nonprofit finance.

Finance Directors are invited to join colleagues for discussion, information sharing and support for this unique, challenging and satisfying role. Tables for Ten meet three times for candid, confidential facilitated conversations and problem solving. As opposed to a formal presentation, the purpose is to learn from and support each other.

Thursdays, April 26, 8:30-10am, May 10, 8:30-10am and May 31, 8:30-10am
Facilitator: Ann Mazur, CEO, EveryMind
Location: The Nonprofit Village: 12320 Parklawn Dr, Rockville
