Establishing Tech Policies to Protect Your Nonprofit

When
05 Mar 2020
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Location
Webinar Series

Clear, concise policies governing the use of technology can help protect your nonprofit against the risks of scams, malicious software, and bad data handling practices. Do you have guidelines in place to ensure appropriate staff use of social media? Does your staff know what to do in the event of a natural disaster such as a flood, fire, or ransomware attack? How do you manage staff use of phones or computers that mix personal and work data?

If you don’t have written policies—and regular training to ensure that people understand them— your organization may face bigger risks than you think. Over three 90-minute webinars, we’ll walk you through the questions you should consider as you develop policies to protect your nonprofit.

Throughout this course, you will:

Identify the risks your nonprofit faces and the level of risk with which you’re comfortable.
Ask yourself important questions about what is and is not acceptable use of organization resources and tools.
Learn to manage people and data to keep your organization safe from malicious attacks and honest mistakes.
Walk through the pros and cons of whether staff members should use their personal devices for work.
Consider the ways you can partner with your staff to protect organization data on personal devices.
Review what you’ll need to do if your office experiences a major disaster such as flood, earthquake, or ransomware.
Gain the knowledge you need to write smart policies to protect constituents, staff members, and your organization.

3-part webinar series: March 5, 12, and 19
11:00 AM to 12:30 PM (Mountain).

All registered participants are granted access to the recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the toolkit presentation desks and handouts.

Fixing the Rules Governing Government Contracts

When
10 Mar 2020
1:00 PM
Location
Webinar

Governments at all levels rely on nonprofit organizations to build wellbeing in communities by providing services to individuals at all stages of their lives. Yet, many governments have not been good partners when it comes to reimbursing nonprofits for the costs of providing those services. That could change for the better – and soon. The federal government recently proposed revisions to the primary law governing government grantmaking – the OMB Uniform Guidance – that could result in greater reimbursements for indirect costs, reduce administrative burdens, and increase transparency.

Learn more by joining this webinar. Officials from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget will walk participants through the changes they are proposing and answer questions. After their presentation, speakers with vast experience in interpreting and applying the federal grants rules to nonprofit operations will go into greater detail on the key issues affecting nonprofits and also address participants' questions.

This free program is presented by the networks of the National Council of Nonprofits and the National Human Services Assembly.

Topic - HR Alphabet Soup: FMLA, ADA, USERRA, FLSA, and so on...

While a seasoned HR Professional may understand all of these acronyms for employment legislation and compliance, the rest of us don’t deal with them regularly and can leave us a bit confused. With almost 200 federal laws governing employment, it is not a bad idea to get a basic overview of terminology and what they mean to help deal with employment issues that may arise.
