SUMMARY:Georgia Center for Nonprofits: Strategic Planning with Your Nonprofit Board
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Center for Nonprofits is hosting a webinar on Strategic Planning with Your Nonprofit Board on Tuesday\, October 27th\, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM. \nOne of the key responsibilities of a nonprofit board is developing and supporting successful strategies for the organization. Considering the unique needs and structures of nonprofits\, it can be challenging for board members to discern the best ways for them to contribute to the strategic planning process. Many nonprofits have staff that carry the vision forward into implementation\, but for certain types of boards\, some (or all) of that responsibility is placed on them as well. In this new addition to the member-exclusive board series\, GCN is taking a deeper dive into the role of the board in guiding strategic thinking\, planning\, and execution. GCN will discuss how different “types” of boards impact that role\, and ways that board members can make meaningful contributions in support of the long-term effectiveness of the nonprofits they serve. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:National League of Cities (NLC): Supporting Employee Health While Managing Health Care Costs
DESCRIPTION:The National League of Cities (NLC) is hosting a webinar on Supporting Employee Health While Managing Health Care Costs on Thursday\, October 29th\, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. \nCities are facing a difficult balancing act: health care costs continue to rise while cities are simultaneously managing tight budgets\, recruiting and retaining talent in tight labor markets\, and growing demands for competitive employee benefits. Employer health benefits costs are projected to increase 6.5% per employee in 2026. Through NLC’s partnership with Bearing Advisors\, Prevent+Protect offers local governments a different approach to employee benefits\, while helping cities manage costs without requiring a new benefit appropriation or reducing employee take-home pay. \nDuring this webinar\, Jim Hunt and Mike Conduff will explain how Prevent+Protect works and how its three-part approach—Physical Health\, Mental Health and Financial Health—is designed to strategically address the factors driving health care utilization and costs. The speakers will also explain the program’s transformational approach to financing\, the positive impact on a city’s general fund and the ease of implementation. The challenges facing American cities are not getting smaller. The session is designed for city leaders who are looking for innovative ways to strengthen employee benefits while managing rising health care costs. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Aspen Institute: What Employee Ownership Means to Workers
DESCRIPTION:The Aspen Institute is hosting What Employee Ownership Means to Workers on Thursday\, October 29th\, from 2:00 PM to 3:15 PM. \nEmployee owners themselves bring a critical perspective to building effective employee-owned companies and expanding the model. Workers know best which elements of ownership matter most\, so their voices are important in designing ownership plans\, putting them into practice\, and evaluating outcomes. Understanding those perspectives can help companies develop workplace practices that let employee ownership thrive and help policymakers craft policies that support its growth. \nThe Economic Opportunities Program’s forthcoming report\, What Employee Ownership Means to Workers\, shares the perspectives and experiences of workers at companies with different forms of employee ownership: ESOPs\, EOTs\, worker cooperatives\, and broad-based equity compensation plans. Join the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program for What Employee Ownership Means to Workers virtually to hear findings from the report and a panel conversation featuring four employee-owners who participated in the research\, as part of our celebration of Employee Ownership Month. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE): Beyond Retention: How to Prove the Business Impact of Early Career Programs
DESCRIPTION:The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) is hosting Beyond Retention: How to Prove the Business Impact of Early Career Programs on Friday\, October 30th\, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. \nGallup estimates that replacing employees can cost between 40% and 200% of salary\, depending on the role. Yet many early career teams still focus on hiring\, completion\, and retention metrics while struggling to demonstrate the broader business value of their programs. As budget scrutiny increases and expectations from senior leaders grow\, the ability to connect early career investment to business outcomes has become a critical capability. This session explores the three measurement shifts that move early career teams from reporting activity to demonstrating value. Participants will learn practical ways to connect program outcomes to capability development\, talent pipeline strength\, and business priorities\, building a compelling business case that secures executive support and future investment. \nClick here to learn more and register.
