Leading Through Uncertainty: Strategies for Nonprofit Resilience
2025-04-04 10:00 - 12:00 | UFCU Plaza, 8303 N. MoPac Expy., Austin, Texas, 78757
Leading a nonprofit organization in today’s climate requires more than just resilience – it demands clarity, connection, and the ability to lead with a steady hand in the face of considerable uncertainty. In this interactive workshop, Laura Elmore LeBlanc and Julia Cuba Lewis bring their signature blend of expertise and candor to help Executive Directors navigate the unknowns of federal legislation, economic shifts, and the daily realities of nonprofit leadership. Through personal storytelling and shared strategies, we’ll explore what has worked – and what hasn’t – when leading through crises, from COVID-19 to funding cuts and major transitions. We’ll identify what is within our control, how to use your influence effectively, and why fostering connection and momentum can turn uncertainty into opportunity.
When: Friday April 4th 10am-12pm
Where: UFCU Plaza, 8303 N Mopac Expy, Austin TX

Discussion with Diane Yentel, President & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits
2025-07-31 13:00 - 14:00 | Virtual (Zoom)
Join One Voice Central Texas and The Nonprofit Council in welcoming Diane Yentel, President and CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits.
For more than 30 years, the National Council of Nonprofits has mobilized the nation’s largest sector-wide network of nonprofits to achieve transformative results. They provide nonprofits with the tools, research, and resources needed to operate more effectively, efficiently, and ethically.
We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to speak with the National Council of Nonprofits as they have been providing invaluable guidance in uncertain times, including their frequently updated chart on executive orders, risk assessment checklists, and information on what is myth vs. what is reality. As federal executive orders increasingly threaten to undermine nonprofit missions and operations, Diane will share critical insights, clarify the real impacts, and help attendees understand what is in their control.
Bring your questions and join fellow nonprofit professionals in this vital discussion. Register below for this virtual event.
When: Thursday, July 31 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT
Where: Zoom – Register here today!
