Non-Family Staff Peer Network: How to Have Conversations About Civic Engagement

Philanthropy often has a role to play in promoting civic engagement, particularly in times of crisis. Determining what your foundation’s specific role within the philanthropic and social sector should be, however, can be complex and requires healthy and thoughtful internal communication.

Learn how you can contribute to respectful conversations with your board and staff members about the value of supporting civic engagement in ways that build a stronger understanding of participants’ viewpoints, allow for respectful disagreement, and highlight common values and experiences.

Join us to hear from Clare Butterfield about how she approaches tough conversations based on her experience in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector. Bring your own strategies for having thoughtful and productive discussions with your board members about this important topic and pain points that your peers can help you work through.

If you are not yet a member of the Non-Family Staff Peer Network, you may join and be notified when registration for this event opens here.

For this interactive meeting, we encourage attendees to join with webcams on. To help foster candid discussions, peer network events are not recorded.
