In response to the challenges facing the not-for-profit sector, Connecting Up has launched a new series of events to help Australian not-for-profits respond to COVID-19.
Connecting Up has a long history of engaging with and supporting the Australian not-for-profit sector by connecting it with a large number of experts and mentors at the annual Connecting Up Conference. Because the postponement of this year's conference until November 4-6 has made it impossible for us to provide that direct support in the way we normally would, we have created the Connecting Up COVID-19 Expert Bar.
The Expert Bar is Connecting Up’s latest response to the COVID-19 pandemic and will help hundreds of not-for-profit staff to connect with experts and peers working in the same areas to share learnings from the past few months and adapt their strategies and operations to have the best chance for success.
The new format of informal, 30-minute sessions with dedicated experts around specific topics has been designed to help the not-for-profit sector in its time of need.
Sessions will cover a wide range of topics and are specifically targeted at small groups of not-for-profit staff and volunteers.
The Connecting Up COVID-19 Expert Bar begins next week on Monday 29 June with sessions on events, leadership, information security and online board meetings.
Sessions are limited to 10 attendees and targeted at not-for-profit staff working in specific areas to create an environment in which attendees can connect with others facing similar challenges.
The small group session design also ensures everyone can ask questions and receive specific advice from the expert leading the session.
