REGISTRATION CLOSES OCTOBER 18

A robust nonprofit culture that fosters trust, collaboration, and innovation empowers the organization to fulfill its mission and create lasting impact. But great culture doesn’t just happen—it requires intentional leadership, clear values, and a continual effort to cultivate an environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute.

The Applied Wisdom for Nonprofits team will take you through the basics of a practical and concise free program that can be easily implemented as a nonprofit board and staff development tool. The program was developed by Jim Morgan, former CEO of semiconductor equipment giant Applied Materials and board member of The Nature Conservancy. Under Morgan’s leadership of nearly 30 years—one of the longest tenures of any Fortune 500 CEO— Applied Materials grew from a small, struggling company to an industry leader.

This class is designed for nonprofit board members and executive directors. It will summarize the three parts of the Applied Wisdom for Nonprofits program: Culture, Planning, and Implementation, with particular focus on diverse cultural needs. We will utilize plenty of breakout time to allow for a fun and interactive learning environment.

In this class you will learn about:

• How to Cultivate a Healthy Nonprofit Culture
  The Importance of Respecting and Trusting Your People
  How Bad News is Good News IF You Do Something About It

**WIN $100 FOR YOUR NONPROFIT!**

As an added incentive to participate, each attendee will have a chance to win one of five $100 donations to the nonprofit they represent.
