Wallowa County Nonprofit Business Series

Cause Oregon, in partnership with Northeast Oregon Economic Development District, is offering a comprehensive series of seminars this spring to sharpen the skills of nonprofit boards and staff. Whether you're new to the sector or a seasoned professional, the series will provide practical tools for your work.

Classes are stand-alone modules and also build a nonprofit toolkit sequentially. Participants can attend any number of sessions at $35 each, or register for all ten at a discounted rate of $295. Seating is limited; pre-registration is required. Fees are not refundable but can be credited for future sessions. 

This week's session is on Hiring an ED. One of the most important jobs of a nonprofit board is hiring, partnering with, and evaluating its Executive Director (ED). As leader of operations, an ED is directly responsible for meeting many of the goals of a nonprofit. This session will explore managing a search for staff, setting a course for a new hire, monitoring an executive's progress, and evaluating their work. Participants will leave with a process and tool for objectively measuring their executive staff's performance.
