Executive Director's Message - Jenny Berg |
|
|
|
Things are really falling into place for our Securing the Future conference on March 4, 2021. We hope you and your team will consider taking time for yourself to learn from subject matter experts on belonging, board governance, succession planning, systemic racism in fundraising, building an inclusive, diverse, and equitable culture, futures thinking, public relations strategies, and preventing employee burnout. Registration is open, and discounts are available for 3 or more, so bring a team and divide and conquer. Recordings will be available for months after the conference for all registered attendees.
Here’s a two-minute preview of just one of our exciting speakers - Marvin DeJean. Marvin is a leading business futurist, organizational strategist, and an “unapologetic evangelist” for innovation-driven solutions to corporate and social challenges. As the Senior Managing Partner of Gilead Sanders LLC., he spends his time helping organizations and individuals take the quantum leap into the 21st-century digital marketplace. Marvin will be leading a breakout session called: "The Big Pivot: Reinventing Organizations for the 21st Century."

All of our breakout speakers and of course our keynote speaker will keep you engaged, learning, stretching, and connecting. This is not another zoom call. Our platform, Socio Events, is user friendly, allows connections to other attendees, sponsors, and speakers, as well as access to the speaker materials.
Join us so you too can learn how adopting the "outside-in perspective" of futures thinking unlocks principles and potential practices for imagining the possible futures of belonging that can inform and influence work in collaboration with your employees, volunteers, clients, and constituents.
We are thankful to our STF sponsors for their support to bring this robust half-day conference to you in a new and exciting way!
Thanks!
Jenny

Visitors to our website will easily be able to recognize your organization from your logo, learn who the leader is, what your mission is, and what cause(s) you to serve. That helps you because our BOLD graduates (potential board members) can more easily see/search causes they care about, and prospective staff, and/or volunteers, can learn more about your organization with just one click.

Member Spotlight
Santa Maria Community Services
|
|
|
|
Santa Maria Community Services recently celebrated our 123rd year of helping families help themselves. We were founded downtown to work with Italian immigrants to our region and moved to the Price Hill area in 1966. We are now a multi-service agency focused on helping families achieve their educational, financial and health goals while also strengthening the Price Hill community.
Growing up as the oldest of five children first in rural WV and later in Brazil where my parents served as missionaries in the 1970s, and really maturing in my Christian faith through high school and college, I knew I wanted to serve people in some capacity. I came to Santa Maria in 1984, right out of grad school, and worked for five years as a community organizer in Lower Price Hill before being named CEO in 1989. I love Santa Maria’s community-based work and the people we work with. Read More
