SUMMARY:Housing Our Valley
DESCRIPTION:The Housing Summit will explore ways the region can respectfully increase its housing supply — and what that is likely to look like. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate and time\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 6 · 10am – 3pm PST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nPybus Public Market \n3 North Worthen Street Wenatchee\, WA 98801 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund Policy\n\nRefunds up to 7 days before event\nEventbrite’s fee is nonrefundable.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nEvent lasts 5 hours\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrowth has been happening for a long time in Chelan and Douglas counties\, and given the region’s livability and close proximity to the Seattle and Spokane metro areas\, more is on the way. The state has determined about 18\,000 new homes need to be constructed in Chelan and Douglas counties over the next 20 years in order to catch up with demand\, with about half of those homes priced for low- and moderate-income households. One potential solution is generating more “middle housing\,” which includes such housing types as duplexes\, triplexes\, townhouses\, cottages\, courtyard housing\, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). \nThe Summit — “Housing Our Valley: How do we increase density in our neighborhoods respectfully?” — will explore how middle housing can fit into existing neighborhoods and fill a large need in the region. Sessions during the Summit will include: \n\nWhat State Housing Mandates Mean for You and Your Community\nLocal Cities and Counties: Planning for Future Growth\nRecognition of Local Success Stories\nMiddle-Market Housing: Changing the Narrative\nInfill with Smaller Homes\nTools to Get Affordable Housing Built\n\nKeynote presentation will be delivered by Deborah Flagan\, vice president of community engagement for Redmond\, Ore.-based Hayden Homes\, which recently opened an office in Wenatchee. For three decades\, Hayden Homes has provided more than 25\,000 new homes for value-driven families in underserved communities throughout Washington state\, Oregon\, Idaho\, and Montana. In 2009\, Hayden Homes launched the Simplicity by Hayden Homes brand as a build-on-your-land partner for private land-owners\, public jurisdictions\, nonprofits\, employers\, and investors looking to build workforce housing. Hayden Homes offers a variety of home sizes and designs to meet the goals of communities. \nThe summit will bring together builders\, developers\, realtors\, bankers and others working in the housing industry\, along with government officials and planners\, social service workers\, property owners\, and other community members interested in learning more about the topic. \nThe cost is just $10 (which includes lunch)\, thanks to our wonderful sponsor\, Danny Zavala Real Estate with Laura Mounter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately\, it is often a forgotten asset. Imagine you are a nonprofit corporation utilizing volunteers for creative projects\, or you have an opportunity to have your name prominently featured on goods\, or you developed an invention and want to make sure it goes to market at cost. Understanding the ownership dynamics and permissible uses of intellectual property is key to navigating legal landscapes. \nThis workshop will begin with a basic primer on copyrights\, trademarks\, and other intellectual property that nonprofits routinely interact with. It will include a discussion of how nonprofit law handles intellectual property and identify ways that nonprofits can utilize their intellectual property to their advantage and avoiding common pitfalls. \nImportant Note: This information is provided for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal or technical advice. Further\, because of the educational nature of the information\, the workshop does not form any type of attorney client relationship. If you are unsure about anything covered in this presentation\, we suggest that you contact the appropriate agency or seek professional advice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\nFree for NAWA Members – Find the coupon code on the Member Resources page. \n$20 for Not-yet-Members. Interested in becoming a NAWA Member? Learn more about membership here. \n\n\n\n\nFind NAWA’s cancellation and refund policies here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is designed for nonprofit board members or staff interested in intellectual and nonprofit law basics.

Born and raised in rural New Mexico in a family of artists\, Adán developed a deep appreciation for the arts early in life. This background significantly influences his legal career\, where he specializes in intellectual property law\, particularly focusing on copyrights and trademarks. His work often involves supporting artists\, creatives\, nonprofits\, and entrepreneurs\, combining his passion for the arts with his legal expertise. \nAdán earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Idaho College of Law in 2016\, and prior to that\, he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Fine and Studio Arts from the University of New Mexico in 2010. Since being admitted to the Washington State Bar\, he has been actively involved in the legal community\, serving as the President and Board Member for Washington Lawyers for the Arts and as Co-Vice Chair of the King County Bar Association’s Intellectual Property Section\, board member of Global Leadership Forum. He also volunteers with Kids in Need of Defense\, assisting unaccompanied minors with legal challenges in the United States\, and Communities Rise legal clinics\, assisting nonprofits with legal questions.

SUMMARY:Let’s Go Legal Webinar (March 2025)
DESCRIPTION:March 19 | 10:00 am  –  12:00 pm\n\nFree\n\nLet’s Go Legal is here to help you achieve your mission and stay compliant in the process. This virtual workshop will get you started on a road to compliance by thinking of your nonprofit like a car.

Your nonprofit needs money and resources (fuel) to power the organization. The people in your car matter too\, these are your nonprofit’s valuable workers. Lastly\, similar to cars\, every organization has a unique look and feel as well as special materials that you may want to protect. The session will also cover bylaws and how to use them to strengthen your board practices as well as advocacy and ways to grow your mission within the public sector. \nThe virtual workshop will cover: \n\nIntellectual Property Law\nState Law\nFederal Law\nFundraising\nEmployment Law

Leaders often find themselves stretched thin\, struggling to nurture relationships and effectively communicate their messages in a way that truly resonates. While many focus on results\, the most effective leaders recognize that meaningful relationships drive those results. It’s not an either/or. Stories are the currency of connection\, making storytelling an indispensable skill for modern leaders. Strategic storytelling is more than a soft skill. It contributes to revenue. This interactive and reflective session is designed to lay the groundwork for transformative conversations that foster better relationships\, leading to a community of loyal stakeholders. \nWhen we lead with story\, we build engaged teams\, more loyal clients\, and better communities. \nHelp your leaders communicate to connect\, engage\, and influence action. This workshop experience is tailored to encourage reflection and collaboration. \nWho is this webinar for? \n\nPurpose-driven organizations who want to increase engagement with their stakeholders. (better fundraising\, increased revenue)\n\n\nOrganizations who want to give their people the skills to influence action and elevate their impact.\n\nWhat value can I expect? \n\nWhen attendees are committed to applying what you’ve learned\, you can put your new story and communication skills to work immediately.\n\n\nMore effective communication with your teams\, donors\, and volunteers.\n\n\nImproved community-building skills.\n\nAbout the presentor\nLisa Gerber is a story strategist and communications expert who works with teams to use the power of story effectively through workshops\, strategic planning\, and one-to-one coaching. She is a conference speaker and the author of The Power of Story: Connect with Purpose; Unlock your Influence. \nAfter years in urban revitalization\, Lisa became the marketing director at a ski resort in Idaho\, where she merged her marketing skills and passion for skiing. In 2004\, she ventured to start her own practice and pursue her love of storytelling and its impact. \nExamples of her work include: \n\nLeading a storytelling initiative for an education foundation to support a school levy\n\n\nCoaching a conservation leader to obtain a million-dollar grant.\n\n\nGuiding the senior leadership of a global outdoor organization during a multimillion-dollar transformation to increase trust and employee satisfaction.\nWhen she isn’t in her office\, she could be out skiing or trail running. This is when she does her best creative problem-solving.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by\n\n\n\n501 Commons
