Does your organization have questions regarding roles, budgeting, compliance, physical issues or anything else related to the most effective asset management practices? Come join Enterprise’s asset management “Ask the Experts” session! Enterprise has assembled a panel of experienced practitioners from top organizations across the country to shed light on the asset management practices that have worked for them. Topics discussed will include the role of asset management and how it differs from property management, who should perform the role of asset management in an organization, managing the property manager, and the top asset management best practices. To make the session as responsive as possible to your needs, we will reserve the majority of the time for questions from the audience. The panelists include individuals from Homes for America, Mercy Housing Lakefront, Palladia, Tatem Consulting, and Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation. This presentation is sponsored by Bank of America.

In January of 2011, the 112th Congress of the United States will be sworn into office.

Therefore, it is important to understand who will be in leadership in the next Congress and what issues will likely dominate the agenda. Led by senior Enterprise Community Partners staff, this event will begin with an overview of the accomplishments and challenges of the 111th Congress. Next, we’ll preview the 112th Congress and discuss likely challenges and opportunities for housing and community development federal policy.

Very few nonprofits can say their boards of directors are as proactive in fundraising as they’d like them to be. In fact, fundraising ranks last in the areas of board performance. If your board members are reluctant, there are proven ways to enhance their fundraising effectiveness. This workshop will provide you with strategies and techniques to transform your board into a fundraising board, one that is willing to both “give and get.”
This workshop is designed for executive directors, board chairs and chairs of board fundraising committees.

Nonprofit Innovation: Doing things Differently – Doing Different Things will bring together nonprofit organizations as well as consultants and foundations to bolster their knowledge of effective practices thus strengthening their ability to carry out their mission and work.
Innovation has been, and will continue to be, an omnipresent theme for nonprofits throughout the Commonwealth. In these times, a creative lens is paramount to organizational sustainability and significant change. In 2010, the symposium comprises 24 workshops chosen from over 70 proposals that exemplify both “Innovation” (cutting edge, new thinking) and “What Works” (best practices that have been tried across several situations and organizations). This year, a minimum of 650 individuals are expected to attend and take part in this exciting opportunity.
