Non-Profit Leadership Summit

Non-Profit Leadership Summit

The Non-Profit Leadership Summit began in 2022 to provide our Community Partners with the tools they need to succeed.

The Nonprofit Leadership Summit is an annual gathering of nonprofit leaders, professionals, and community advocates dedicated to advancing the impact and sustainability of local mission-driven organizations. Hosted at Stetson University, the summit provides a platform for meaningful dialogue, professional development, and the exchange of innovative ideas.

Through workshops, presentations, and networking opportunities, the summit provides participants with opportunities to enhance their leadership skills, strengthen organizational strategies, and address the unique challenges facing the nonprofit sector. Each year, the event focuses on critical topics such as fundraising, governance, and marketing. It is a unique opportunity to learn from community leaders, connect with peers, and leave equipped with actionable strategies to elevate your organization’s mission.

Strategic planning is more than just setting goals for your organization. After identifying goals, the strategic plan helps you lay out the steps necessary to accomplish those goals, the resources needed by your organization, and the system used to evaluate progress.

The strategic planning process culminates in a document that serves as your roadmap. While each organization is unique, the essential elements of a strategic plan include:

  • your mission, vision, and value statements.
  • your team.
  • goals, tasks, and timelines needed to achieve those goals.
  • the methods you will use to assess your progress.
  • an analysis of your resources.
  • the budget that will be implemented.
