Before diving into strategic planning, it’s essential to ask: Is your organization truly ready?

This 90-minute Lunch & Learn session will walk you through a readiness check designed specifically for nonprofit teams. You’ll explore the foundational questions that can make or break a strategic planning process, including:

• What do you ultimately want out of a strategic plan?
• Do you have the internal capacity to commit to the process?
• Are your stakeholders—staff, board, and community—ready to engage?
• What pieces need to be in place before you start?
• Who needs to be involved, and are they aligned?

This interactive session is a perfect first step for nonprofits considering strategic planning or preparing for a deeper process. You’ll leave with clarity on where your organization stands and what you may still need to get started effectively.

We encourage you to attend with your team members—including staff, leadership, and board members—so you can start this conversation together and build alignment from the beginning.

Lunch will be provided—just bring your team and your curiosity.
