The 5 W's of Building and Growing Your Online PresenceDerek Rice
Social media allows people to share instant feedback about companies — positive and negative — with friends and followers. It also allows companies to join the conversation, establish themselves as respected experts and influencers within their fields, and to become a trusted friend. All it takes is an active, engaged, and loyal online community. If you build it, will they come? Probably not. But your chances increase if you build a strong foundation. So how do you do that?

Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) Software for Nonprofits4Good.org
Is your nonprofit struggling with many communication channels, people who play multiple roles, and lots of different places to keep track of all that information? Constituent Relationship Management, or CRM, is your system for holding it all together.

Leverage Your Expertise – Technology for Nonprofit Content Curation4Good.org
As nonprofit professionals, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with the quantity and pace of information. So we all turn to trusted friends to help us “find the good stuff”. As an expert in your area, you have a unique opportunity (and responsibility) to build your credibility and leverage your expertise by helping others make sense of your world. By adding resources to your website or blog, you become a content curator. Because the source of power for networked nonprofits is no longer “what you know”, it is in “how you use and share” what you know.
Learn how nonprofits and associations use IdeaEncore and many other online tools to save time and money and engage members through custom online libraries and re-using others’ materials to leverage their expertise. It’s an opportunity to become a leader of the peer-to-peer learning movement that is sweeping the nonprofit community.
What do you do when someone signs up for your email list or donates to your organization? Do they have to wait until your next “monthly” newsletter to learn more about who you are and what you do? If so, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to engage, inspire and motivate your supporters to take action.
One of the best ways to engage with new subscribers (or new donors for that matter) is to create what is called a “Welcome Series” of emails. These emails are set to automatically be sent to the individual over the course of a few weeks – Day 1 they get an email, day 4 they get another email, day 8 they get yet another email, etc. These emails are designed to introduce yourself and your organization to the individual, as well as show them the impact your organization is having and why they should stay connected.
Sounds like a great idea and something all nonprofits should be doing right? The problem is that most nonprofits are not currently using a Welcome Series and are missing out on this powerful tool. If this includes your organization, then join us for this jam-packed webinar where we highlight a number of successful strategies and tactics you can start using immediately including:
- Why a Welcome Series is so powerful (Its all about the relationship)
- How to create an engaging and compelling Welcome Series
- How and why you should have multiple Welcome Series’ – subscribers, donors, attendees, etc.
- How a Welcome Series can increase your donor retention

Nonprofits today are faced with unprecedented challenges, and yet we continue to approach board leadership using concepts from thirty years ago. As our organizations enter into new territory, so our boards need to lead differently - yet we continue to put our efforts into getting the structure 'right'. But there is no magical number of board members or committees, or use of Robert's Rules of Order or Consent agendas, that will transform our boards into the strategic thinkers or powerful decision makers they need to be. Instead, structure must be seen as only the foundation - and board behavior and dynamics approached in a new way - to lead effectively into the future.

The answers to these questions can make the difference between sustainable success and failure in several ways.

Mission and Leadership: Work Motivation That Strikes a Chord4Good.org
Most organizations have a formalized mission statement. Too often it is merely posted on a wall in the conference room.

Have You Been Sequestered?—Developing Diverse Sources of Revenue4Good.org

Multiple examples from actual, funded grant proposals will show how data solves grant writers’ most knotty problems by creating need statements, formulating project objectives, devising evaluation measures, and more.

Auction planners: How do you get guests to bid more in your silent auction?
When you’ve gone to the effort of soliciting donors for items, setting up displays, and arranging volunteers for checkout, it’s not a pleasant feeling at night’s end to realize your fabulous items were sold at a hefty discount. It can be really demoralizing.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F. The India Orthopedic Devices Market is being driven by several factors. The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
