SUMMARY:What Works: Developing Successful Multigenerational Leadership webinar
DESCRIPTION:Many nonprofits are now contending with four generations at work\, which can lead to conflict as opportunities for growth become more limited. At the same time\, programs that increase employee skills\, leadership options\, and ultimately satisfaction have been cut\, and employees are looking to move on. Further\, as tension grows\, important lessons can be lost. Fortunately\, there are key practices and policies that can alleviate these tensions and improve work across generations. Based on a national survey and case studies\, this interactive webinar\, led by Caroline McAndrews will explore the types of organizations and leadership needed – across generations – to make significant social change\, policies and practices that promote shared learning and decision-making\, and strategies for how to apply these findings to your own organization.

SUMMARY:The Commons: Why It Matters\, An Interactive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Kim Klein is a member of the Building Movement Project and a Fellow with On the Commons. Kim has worked in nonprofit sector her entire career and believes that nonprofits have a critical role to play in the creation and maintenance of a democratic society. Her current work is focused on how nonprofits can protect “the commons”— what we all own (parks\, libraries\, the internet) or what cannot be owned (clean air\, wilderness\, fresh water). The commons must be preserved and passed down to future generations undamaged\, restored or enhanced\, and healthy nonprofits are fundamental to this work. Kim is well known as a fundraising trainer and consultant. She is a lecturer at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and the editor of the Kim Klein Fundraising Series at Jossey-Bass Publishers. She is the author of five books\, including Fundraising For Social Change (now in its 6th edition) and Reliable Fundraising in Unreliable Times\, which won the McAdam Book Award in 2010. She has a blog called Kim Klein and the Commons\, and is a staff member for a project called Nonprofits Talking Taxes.

SUMMARY:Leadership for Feminist Movement Building Panel
DESCRIPTION:Spark together with Stanford University’s Center for Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS)\, Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research\, the Women’s Community Center and CDDRL’s Program on Social Entrepreneurship\, will co-host an intergenerational conversation to address questions around leadership within the next phase of the women’s movement including what is the women’s movement\, how the women’s movement operates and how we fund the women’s movement. The panel discussion will bring together a diverse group of different generations of academic leaders\, practitioners and students (including Project Team member Helen Kim) who are grappling with these issues on the front lines. The ultimate goal of this project is to create intergenerational understanding and build a plan to develop the pipeline of leadership for the women’s movement in the 21st Century.

SUMMARY:Catalysts for Change: How California Nonprofits Can Deliver Services and Transform Communities
DESCRIPTION:The budget crisis in California has heightened the need for all communities to build their civic capacity and to stay informed about the policy decisions that affect their lives. Direct service providers have enormous reach into communities that have been marginalized – including low-income and communities of color – but these groups do not always know how to advocate with their clients to solve more systemic problems. During this interactive session\, funders will be briefed on key findings from the report: Catalyst for Change: How California Nonprofits Can Deliver Services and Transform Communities\, commissioned by The California Endowment. Participants will hear directly from organizations that have made the transition from a direct service only approach to integrating client voice and advocacy into their work. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in a discussion about successes\, challenges\, and ideas for action related to this topic.
