Not-for-Profits have had a couple of turbulent years.
Developing survival strategies in an already oversaturated market is of utmost importance. Organisations need to rethink, adapt, and stay committed to the organisational goal and mission to be able to deliver their purpose amidst the disruption and fatigue from the previous few years.
Third Sector LIVE will equip attendees with practical tools and strategies on how Australia’s Not-for-Profits can collectively move forward to capture opportunities and overcome barriers. This forum will also focus on how to collaborate to build partnerships, build financial strength, develop a strong leadership to drive organisational success and how to amplify an organisation’s purpose and mission through proven marketing strategies.
