Sundance is Changing Locations. Is Your Organization Ready for the Move?

Sundance is coming to the City of Boulder! Last month, it was announced that this world-famous film festival will be moving from Park City, Utah to Boulder, Colorado, the headquarters of McCord Consulting Group in the United States. The city is abuzz with excitement for the artistic, cultural,  and economic opportunities that Sundance will bring to the city and the region. As the region prepares to welcome artists, judges, and luminaries from around the world, your organization should also be preparing for ways in which you will take advantage of this thrilling opportunity.

I am excited to partner with the Boulder County Arts Alliance to offer a series of workshops focused on Board of Director governance that will prepare your Board, staff, and organization to think boldly about the changing nonprofit environment. In these sessions, you will learn ways to position your organization as you weather structural, financial, and demographic changes in the coming years.

The sessions will be held virtually, there will be interactive learning, and the information is relevant for all organizations. You don’t have to be based in Colorado to benefit from the information. I invite all readers to sign up by clicking the link here.

For more information on ways in which I can motivate your team, follow along on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. For more information on board governance and strategic facilitation, follow along on LinkedIn or Instagram.
