Every nonprofit starts the year with a plan. Budgets are approved. Goals are established. Success metrics are defined. But halfway through the year, reality often looks different than what was projected.
Revenue may be ahead or behind expectations. Expenses can shift unexpectedly. Strategic priorities evolve. New opportunities emerge.
The strongest organizations are not the ones that avoid surprises. They're the ones that recognize them early and respond thoughtfully.
Join us for a practical, peer-driven discussion on how boards and Executive Directors can work together to:
โ Review financial performance and organizational goals
โ Reassess assumptions when circumstances change
โ Reset priorities and metrics when necessary
โ Respond before challenges become larger problems
โ Communicate openly and constructively about performance
We'll also revisit the SBI Framework (Situation, Behavior, Impact) and discuss how it can help boards navigate some of the most challenging conversations with Executive Directors around accountability, performance, and changing expectations.
Discussion Question
๐ฌ Has your board ever had to significantly adjust goals or budget expectations mid-year? What helped the conversation go well, or what made it difficult?
We look forward to learning from each other's experiences.
