Session Overview
Hello!
We would love some advice in our new non-profit (actually was an existing art education company that is now serving Title I schools) on our business strategy. We are growing slowing, which means the Executive Director, is a one person operations and we need to make sure we are approaching our strategy for the future correctly. (When to go after grants, when to hire for help, how to achieve more partnerships etc... ) - Understanding we do not have the resources yet that could grow the business. How to juggle day to day things vs. things that will move the needle - without any staff)
Thank you so much!
Julie
