SUMMARY:Online: Navigating Human Resources in Response to Federal Changes
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, July 16\, 2025\n9:00AM – 11:00AM PT\nHosted by Nonprofit Association of Oregon \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause our team members are our greatest assets\, one of the most challenging decisions nonprofits that lose funding may face is staffing changes. As your organization grapples with program cuts\, there are critical “dos” and “don’ts” when deciding how and when to furlough staff. There are also real needs that staff chosen to stay on will have from leadership. NAO invites you to this strategic Human Resources session to reforecast your staffing needs and support your team in these chaotic times. \nThis webinar is part of NAO’s five-part series\, “Facing the New Reality: Strategic Paths for Nonprofits.” The recording will be shared with all registered participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\n$30 for NAWA Members & Members of participating state associations – Find the discount code on the Member Resources page \n$60 for Not-yet-Members \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease contact the organizer with questions about this event.
