  As an adapted version of the organization’s in-person Board Fundamentals Workshop, the Wyoming Nonprofit Network is excited to again be offering Boardroom Basics: What Every Nonprofit Board Member Should Know. This two-hour online workshop will discuss the primary functions of the board of directors, including responsibilities and legal obligations. In addition to the information delivered online, attendees will receive a 15-page digital handout with workshop content and links to relevant resources. Recognizing the impact of strengthened governance within the nonprofit sector, this learning opportunity utilizes an organizational registration, meaning a single registration provides access to a Zoom link that can be shared with all board members and staff for no additional charge.

  To support the onboarding of new board members and provide continued education for existing board members throughout the year, Boardroom Basics will be offered bimonthly in 2026.

  Offered Dates:

  The two-hour online workshop will be offered every other month in 2026. The same content will be shared each month, with workshop attendees able to attend the session that best fits their schedule.

  • Tuesday, February 10, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. via Zoom
  • Thursday, April 16, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. via Zoom

  One registration covers your entire organization and includes access to all 2026 Boardroom Basics workshops. The same Zoom link will be used for every session, and registered organizations may share the link with staff or board members at no additional cost. Representatives from registered organizations are welcome to attend any or all sessions offered throughout the year.

• Tell, Show, Skip: What's Missing from How We Train

  • When
    27 Oct 2026
  •  
    11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
  • Location
    Online

  

  This is Part 2 of the 3-part Learning That Sticks Fall Series. All sessions are moderated by Nancy Bacon of the Nonprofit Learning Center.

  We tend to assume people need to be convinced first—that if we provide the right information, they'll change what they do. But the evidence points the other way: practice changes first, and belief follows once people see the new way working. If we want people to do their work differently, training has to help them practice differently first, and not just hear about it or watch it demonstrated.

  That's where deliberate practice comes in: activities designed specifically to sharpen one part of a skill, with real and timely feedback, working just past what someone can already do comfortably. It's not just "more practice" - it's intentional and effortful, and meant to push us past our comfort zone. It's also largely absent from training, often because we assume there's no time or right setting for it.

  This session looks at what deliberate practice is, what it requires, why it's harder to build into training than it sounds, and what it makes possible when you do.

• Every Shift Counts: Strategies to make sure nonprofit deskless workers can learn and serve

  • When
    17 Nov 2026
  •  
    11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
  • Location
    Online

  

  This is Part 3 of the 3-part Learning That Sticks Fall Series. All sessions are moderated by Nancy Bacon of the Nonprofit Learning Center.

  "Frontline" and "deskless" aren't just retail or warehouse terms — they describe a huge share of the nonprofit workforce too. Shelter staff providing services to homeless youth, home health aides moving house to house, food bank volunteers coordinating a Tuesday-morning distribution, community health workers going door to door, disaster relief responders deployed with a few hours' notice, hospice caregivers, meal-delivery coordinators– we could go on and on. These are the people carrying out your organization's mission in real time, often with the least structured support and the least time to sit through a training.

  JD Dillon has spent his career closing the gap between how frontline and deskless teams are asked to perform and how they're actually equipped to succeed. In this session, JD draws on his new book, The Frontline Enablement Playbook, to show what it takes to support the people doing this work: building guidance that fits into the pace of shelter, field, and direct-service work instead of pulling people away from it; growing supervisor capability without adding another layer of administration; creating connection across shifts, sites, and volunteer schedules; and making the internal case for why frontline and deskless support deserves real investment, not an afterthought.

  Expect practical, adaptable ideas for equipping the people closest to the people you serve — whatever "frontline" looks like in your organization. Note: JD's book includes a contributed section, "Helping the Helpers: How to Design for Nonprofit Frontline Workers," written by series moderator, Nancy Bacon.

  JD Dillon is a keynote speaker, prolific content creator, and author of The Modern Learning Ecosystem and The Frontline Enablement Playbook. He got his start on the frontline himself, leading teams in theme parks, movie theaters, and contact centers, before moving into operations and talent development roles with organizations including Disney, AMC, Kaplan, and Axonify. Over more than two decades, he has become one of the most recognized voices in frontline enablement, advising organizations on frontline performance strategy, learning ecosystem architecture, and AI-enabled solutions that help people do their best work every day. JD lives in Orlando, Florida, and is an avid Philadelphia Flyers fan. Learn more about his work at jddillon.com.
