The Finance Director (CFO or COO) plays a unique role in a nonprofit organization. According to a recent survey of finance directors, challenges include: wearing many hats–the Finance Director might also be in charge of HR, IT, and more; reporting to both the Executive Director and the Board of Directors; managing cash flow in cash-challenged organizations; multiple grant requirements; and the need to be both strategic and involved in day to day operations.
Finance Directors are invited to join colleagues for discussion, information sharing and support for this unique, challenging and satisfying role. Tables for Ten meet three times for candid, confidential facilitated conversations and problem solving.
Dates: Thursdays, April 26, 8:30-10am, May 10, 8:30-10am and May 31, 8:30-10am
