Pat Wyzbinski of the Nonprofit Management Fund talks with Barb Knoff about the unique learning environments of conferences and how participants can share their learning experience with their colleagues and communities.

Making Meetings Work
June 3, 2009 | Time: 10:04
Are your board meetings interesting, relevant, and engaging?
Meetings are the key vehicle a board of directors uses to lead an organization, so the issues directors need to discuss and on which they must take action should be every meeting’s focus. It is also important to know what should not be included in a board packet or discussed at a meeting. Pat Wyzbinski of the Nonprofit Management Fund and Mary Wacker of MB Wacker Associates review the elements of successful board meetings, including some of the unique responsibilities of the board chair.
Web of Wealth
May 20, 2009 | Time: 7:52
Thinking creatively about a nonprofit organization’s community connections may uncover new and helpful threads of support.

A Certified Fund Raising Executive, Sam Macklem has worked with nonprofits in fundraising and communications for more than 30 years.
