9:00-10:00 AM Mentoring Program Development with EEP 4th Edition, Chad Driscoll/Mary Sheka, Volunteer Iowa
Come together to review the revisions and highlights in the newest version of the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring (EEP), along with a chance to evaluate your program along the EEP benchmarks to determine program strengths, opportunities for growth and to review best practices.
9:30 AM Check in for programs other than IMP programs
10:00 AM-11:30 AM FUNdamental Data, Richard Koontz and Paul Thelen Iowa Nonprofit Resource Center
Data doesn’t only help organizations tell their stories. Data is how organizations create their stories. Explore how your organization is collecting, analyzing, and sharing data to further their missions. We will explore how internal data may help organizations operate more effectively. We will examine how external data may help connect with clients, supporters, partners, and the public, as well as help develop these connections into strong relationships. Improving performance is one goal you and your organizations share, and data-informed decisions will help you create and tell your stories to the world.
11:30 AM-1:00 PM LUNCH (provided) Networking and Collaboration Planning
1:00 PM-2:30 PM Training for Trainers, Nancy Hanna, Education Consultant
Tired of training volunteers and seeing only glazed over looks with no retention of materials? Learn tips and techniques to improve your facilitation skills and achieve your training outcomes through engaging activities. You will have the opportunity to rework a training you currently use.
2:30-3:30 PM Office hours with Volunteer Iowa staff or Program Meetings
