Lunch and Learn - Industry Spotlight: Nonprofits and Project Management
Presentation Overview:
Join us for another session in our Industry Spotlight series, which features project managers from various industries highlighting how they utilize project management in their specific field. This presentation will feature FWPMI's very own chapter president, Kathy Harvel, talking about her experiences with nonprofit organizations.
Project management skills are invaluable in almost every industry, including non-profit management. Volunteers and staff of non-profit organizations plan and implement activities, engage stakeholders, identify and mitigate risks, manage change and contingencies, develop teams and so on. More often than not, these non-profits are running on a tight budget with light staffing and an ever-growing client base. Sound familiar? Project management to the rescue! Come hear about how project management principles can help non-profit organizations deliver on their mission and provide valuable services to populations in need.
