As the pace of change continues to accelerate, organizations in the social sector are struggling to keep up.  Traditional operating models are becoming obsolete as a result of massive shifts in demographics and technology.

 

As a result, both grantors and grantees are facing new challenges:

• How do we build the appeal of the nonprofit sector as a career path?

• How do we attract and retain top talent? 

• How do we navigate leadership transition?

• How do we create an organizational culture that supports talent development?

 

The 2016 Grantor Grantee Dialogue will provide participants with a set of innovative tools that are practical and action-oriented.  The session will provide insight into the link between leadership development and SROI (social return on investment), and make the case for a robust talent management strategy in both grantor and grantee organizations.   Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from pioneers in the field of talent management as they share their cutting-edge insights into the secrets of 21st century organizational success.  Attendees will receive a copy of the Compassionate Careers: Making a Living by Making a Difference, co-authored by our speakers.
