You’ll leave the clinic with the tools needed to successfully communicate with both private and public funders.

1A: Finding Powerful Stories to Ignite Your Donors Lori Jacobwith, featured presenterThe most powerful way to connect people to your mission is by telling a story that causes the listener to feel something about the work of your organization. Your organization is �lled with these kinds of stories - you just have to know where to look for them. Join Lori to learn how to �nd great stories that will help you raise more money than you imagined.

1B: How Nonpro�t Professionals Should be Leveraging LinkedIn Christy Belden, Vice President, Media + Marketing, leapfroginteractiveWhether connected or cold calling, you can build long-term, valuable relationships using LinkedIn. Find out how easy it is to use one of the most popular social media tools to advance your career and/or your nonpro�t. Please bring a laptop or tablet to follow along with us on your own LinkedIn account.

1C: Volunteer Involvement: Time to Refresh and Remodel? Katherine Campbell, Council for Certi�cation in Volunteer AdministrationThe landscape of volunteering is changing and nonpro�ts must adapt to attract and retain this critical human resource. With volunteers wanting to have a measurable impact instead of just a sense of belonging, managing volunteers is now even more about relationships - not just process. This session will review current volunteering trends and realities, stretch your thinking and o�er practical ideas on updating your organization’s volunteer engagement strategies for more success.

1D: The 10 Employment Law Mistakes Most Likely to Get Your Nonpro�t Sued Tim Davis, Attorney, Landrum & ShouseSound and legal employment law practices are essential for protecting your organization from a lawsuit or agency investigation.

1E: Healthcare Reform Update Presenter TBAHealthcare Reform implementation is on its way. Is your nonpro�t ready? We'll discuss how the new insurance marketplace will impact health insurance coverage for your sta�, what’s special in the law for small (under 50 employees) workplaces, what new paperwork/ documentation is required and what you need to know about the small workplace tax credit.

2A: Detonating Data Lori Jacobwith, featured presenterThe good news: information about donors and volunteers is a resource that is as valuable as cash in the bank. The not-so-good news: much of that information is in people's heads and many nonpro�ts don’t realize how to leverage their data tracking system to support their donor fundraising. Lori will share tips and strategies to focus sta� and board member time in development plans based on the information they’ve collected about their donors - using your donor data to raise more money each year, regardless of what type of data tracking system you use!

2B: Marketing & Social Media - What’s New? Christy Belden, Vice President, Media + Marketing, leapfroginteractiveLearn about the newest marketing and social media strategies for your nonpro�t and hear a recap of the biggest announcements of 2013 so far!

2C: In�uencing Public Policy Through Storytelling David L. Thompson, Vice President of Public Policy, National Council of Nonpro�tsE�ectively told stories can trump data, campaign contributions, ignorance and apathy - whether the focus is on federal, state or local policy matters or national trends a�ecting nonpro�ts. This interactive session focuses on gathering your nonpro�t’s stories of success, hardship and problem solving to shape opinion and motivate decision makers – whether in government, business, or the nonpro�t community – to become part of the solution.

2D: Rock Solid Sponsorships Barbara Harrington, Sponsorship Network Plus Join one of KNN’s most popular speakers for a fast-paced session to simplify your sponsorship sales with a hard look at your sponsorship platform. This session will discuss pricing/valuing sponsorships, shaping meaningful bene�ts, landing face-to-face meetings and the rules for rock-solid follow up (without being annoying!). We’ll discuss case studies appropriate for sponsorship veterans and newcomers from any sized organization.

2E: Financial Oversight for the Non-CPA Kristin McDonner, CPAMany nonpro�t board members may not have a strong �nancial management background - but are still required to understand and oversee the organization’s �nances. Join Kristin to understand the basic questions all board members should ask and understand to ful�ll their �duciary duties - even if you aren’t a CPA.

3C: News from the Capitols - Federal and State Challenges to Nonpro�ts David L. Thompson, Vice President of Public Policy, National Council of Nonpro�tsPublic policy is sometimes described as the process by which organizations can a�ect lasting change . . . and sometimes described in ways that can’t be printed here! David makes a compelling case that, even when nonpro�ts feel stretched too thin with day-to-day concerns to worry about other issues, understanding and engaging in public policy is critical to their missions and the nonpro�t sector’s future. Learn about the most pressing nonpro�t sector issues at the state and federal level and how pre-emptive policy initiatives could be on their way to Kentucky.
