Opening Keynote Presentation Join Me On A Journey: Storytelling in Risk Management The difference between engaged teams with rapt attention, and those who are often only checking boxes, is usually found in the connection that leaders make with employees at their organization.

For decades, many risk leaders have tried to blame risk rules and requirements on burdensome regulations. While citing external forces that mandate safety may be persuasive to some, gaining true buy-in and support for risk-taking and risk-awareness requires leaders to dig deep and harness creativity. One effective method to make risk relatable to everyone on your team is through the power of storytelling. Compelling stories move people, connecting the dots in personal and memorable ways. During this keynote session, Melanie Lockwood Herman will explain how to harness storytelling to amplify the success of risk aspirations and activities in your organization.

Building Resilience

Through Risk Management

LESLIE TAMAGI LEADERSHIP SOLUTIONS INC.

The landscape that nonprofit organizations operate within is changing dramatically and rapidly. As leaders, we need to identify, prepare for, manage, and leverage the risks that we are facing that are interfering with our ability to fulfill our mission. It is essential to engage the organization’s employees and board directors in meaningful discussions around risk; both the threats facing your organization and the exciting opportunities that require bold but risk-informed decision-making.

This session will provide a high-level overview of risk management, moving beyond traditional risk management approaches to explore the new thinking and best practices that are emerging in this field. Accessible tips and tools will be shared to support you on your risk management journey that help embed risk management throughout your organization and create a risk aware organizational culture. The role of the board and key risks facing nonprofits in 2023 and beyond will be highlighted.

Ergonomics for Community Services How to Communicate

B Through Crisis for Nonprofits

MARIKA SYLVAIN GROENDYK BLUEPOINT PUBLIC RELATIONS

As the pace of change accelerates, we tend to spend time on operational risks, when there are bigger risks – and greater opportunities – that are strategic in nature. Strategic risk management requires thinking about a wide range of future possibilities and being willing to take informed risks for the good of those you serve in the face of an unknown future.

Strategic risks may arise from a lack of clearly defined strategic priorities, assumptions underlying big decisions, or a myriad of external trends that could affect your organization’s operations or funding. Risks of this nature are not managed by rules and policies, but through approaches designed to assess and reduce the probability of negative impacts and leverage opportunities for positive outcomes. This session will cover the latest trends impacting nonprofits, practical tools for developing and evaluating strategic risk responses, the role of the board and senior leaders, and opportunities for leaders to share their own experiences with strategic risks.

This comprehensive workshop is designed to equip nonprofit professionals with the knowledge and skills to communicate through crises, manage organizational reputation, and build trust with their audiences. Participants will also receive access to downloadable content from Bluepoint Public Relations that will help them plan ahead for crisis.
