Ready to lead your organization into the future?

The Laramie County Library, in partnership with the Laramie County Community Partnership and the Wyoming Nonprofit Network, is excited to support Facilitating an Effective Strategic Planning Session, a learning opportunity offered by the American Management Association.

Ideally for organizational leaders of small to medium-sized nonprofits, this hands-on training will equip participants with the tools, confidence, and structure needed to lead an internal strategic planning process successfully.

What You Will Gain:

• Clarity on strategic planning models and best practices
• Confidence to facilitate meaningful planning sessions
• Tools to turn strategy into action
• Support from a network of peers and expert facilitators

• Pre-Learning Component: Distributed by the American Management Association, participants will receive a link to a self-evaluation approximately two weeks prior to the in-person learning event. The evaluation should take 30 to 45 minutes to complete and will provide the facilitator with information needed to ensure the training meets the needs of participants.

• Two-Day In-Person Training: Participants are expected to attend the in-person training on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, and Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Laramie County Library. Lunch and light refreshments for the in-person portion of the training will be provided.

• Post-Training Virtual Meeting: On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., participants are required to attend a one-hour post-training virtual meeting to share additional insights and to support the Wyoming Nonprofit Network in developing related learning opportunities for 2026.

• Executive Directors
• Board Members
• Other organizational staff who will be directly involved in leading the strategic planning efforts.

Registration Cost: $80.00, with all other training costs being generously covered by the Laramie County Library Foundation
