Upcoming Learning Events
Presented by IntegralOrg Does your nonprofit collect personal information like name or age from your clients, volunteers, or employees? Or is your nonprofit involved in commercial activities? You may be subject to the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) – legislation that covers how the personal information of employees, clients, customers, and volunteers is collected, used, and disclosed. Whether your nonprofit deals with the personal information of, for example, sports team members, church members, giving program donors, program participants, or day care attendees, your community relies on your organization to implement the best practices when handling personal data. This workshop is moderated by IntegralOrg Legal Counsel C. Yvonne Chenier K.C. with two senior information and privacy managers from the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (OIPC), the office that reviews privacy complaints. Presented by IntegralOrg The nonprofit sector is no stranger to collaboration. Strategic alliances can run the gamut from mergers, amalgamations, and consolidations to administrative consolidation, joint programming, and collaboration. Successful partnerships can amplify community impact, increase service ability, enhance visibility and accessibility, and ultimately create sustainable, healthy organization. The process of establishing a strategic alliance can be complex, however partnerships are an innovative and forward-thinking option that open up practical solutions for our sector in transition. This 90-minute workshop explores the many shapes and forms of strategic alliances with case study examples rooted in Alberta’s nonprofit context. This workshop is designed for nonprofit leaders and board members who want to chart a course toward organizational resilience and sustainability. Don’t miss out on our Holiday Open House!
