What a busy year! I was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago, attending the meeting of state psychological association executives (CESPPA) at the Am. Psychological Assn. convention. Someone asked me if I had been travelling. I hesitated and said, "This is the seventh hotel I've stayed in in the past three weeks. Tomorrow, I give my 11th and 12th presentation on the fifth subject during that time. It's been great fun, but I'm ready to be at home and in the office for a while!"
Sumption & Wyland was contracted to provide support to the South Dakota Community Foundation in putting on six (6) day-long workshops focused on nonprofit capacity building.
Over 600 people attended the workshops, with workshop presentations tailored to each region of South Dakota using research survey data from a study conducted by the Government Research Bureau at the University of South Dakota (USD).
Both the workshops and the survey are components of a $2 million grant-funded "South Dakota Nonprofit Enhancement Project" administered by the SD Community Foundation under a grant from the Archibald Bush Foundation of Minneapolis, MN.
If you're interested in seeing the PowerPoint presentations, visit the web site http://www.sdcommunityfoundation.org and look for the links about the "convenings."
In Toronto, I was program chair for the CESPPA meetings and made two presentations; one on nonprofit executive succession planning and one on running an association in a bad economy. Please look at my LinkedIn page for copies of those presentations.
My hope is that I'll post regularly to this blog in the future. Linking the blog to LinkedIn is a further inspiration to keep both updated.
