SUMMARY:Taking Action on Financial Well-Being in Times of Stress
DESCRIPTION:During this time of extreme uncertainty and hardship\, people’s main financial concerns are likely immediate and stressful. Practitioners\, however\, can still support action towards financial wellbeing through meaningful connection to the financial future people want. By bringing a mindset of equity to these conversations\, you can reduce anxiety and shame about money to help people feel more in control. This means shifting from an emphasis of personal responsibility to integrate how inequitable systems limit what choices are available to people. \nBased on recent research with practitioners in April and May 2020\, The Prosperity Agenda will share ways for organizations to deepen their financial conversations. For organizations who do not typically talk about money\, they’ll offer an accessible way to discuss money that acknowledges strengths and inequities. \nPresented by: The Prosperity Agenda \nRegister

SUMMARY:Effective Governance despite Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:Digging Deeper into Organizational Standards 5.5\, 5.7\, & 5.8 \nOrganizational Standard 5.5 requires the governing board or advisory body to meet in accordance with the frequency and quorum requirements\, as well as fill board vacancies as set in the bylaws. This standard in particular can often present more of a challenge during times of crisis or inability to meet in-person\, such as the COVID-19 Pandemic. Board training and orientation (standards 5.7 and 5.8) can present similar challenges. Many Community Action Agencies (CAAs) have adapted to continue to meet these standards and develop creative strategies to effectively govern during challenging times. Join this webinar to learn more about covering board meetings during COVID-19\, including virtual meetings and compliance with open meeting laws – including specific CAA examples. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Evaluating Strategic Plan Progress with Agency-Wide Scorecards
DESCRIPTION:Digging Deeper into Organizational Standards 6.5 & 9.3 \nOrganizational Standards 6.5 and 9.3 focus on reporting progress toward strategic plan goals (6.5)\, as well as an analysis of outcomes and associated adjustments to the board on at least an annual basis. While the minimum requirement is to report this information once a year\, there are ways to involve the Board and communicate the information clearly so they can better fulfill their role of governance and oversight. Join this webinar to learn about meeting this standard\, as well as utilizing a scorecard or dashboard to organize and communicate data\, as well as other promising practices to move beyond compliance. \nRegister Here
