Navigating Change Through Uncertain Times: Virtual Office Hour

Join us for a free Virtual Office Hour on March 18 from 1–2 PM ET. We’ll be answering your questions and providing guidance and resources to help you navigate change in collaborative work during uncertain and tumultuous times.

With shifts in government administrations both in the U.S. and globally, and related sociocultural shifts, many practitioners are navigating uncertainty and apprehension. They are grappling with how to advance their collective strategies amidst a landscape of rapid changes across multiple systems at once.

For those leading collaborative work, these times of uncertainty can both be very challenging and serve as an opportunity to lead together collectively. Questions collaboratives are working through include:

• How might changing government policies and processes affect collaboratives and the communities they serve?
• How can we communicate with our partners and community members when specific language and words are restricted?
• How do we adapt strategies so that we can continue to support our long-term goals?
• How can we communicate with funders about how changes in these broader systems and policies may affect our work?
• How can funders support grantees working through uncertain times and shifting priorities?

If you have questions about how to manage change during uncertain times, we’re here to help where we can. (Disclaimer: We won’t have answers for every question and situation, but we can share ways of thinking about future planning and lessons we’ve learned from the broader field.)

This session kicks off a series of monthly free office hours that we’re hosting to support collaboratives across the field. If you would like to join but can’t make this month, please join us in a future session.
