In today's world of uncertainty and rapid change there are inevitable risks associated with successfully fulfilling the mission of nonprofit organizations and community coalitions.  Leaders, and the organizations they lead, must be resilient and not lose sight of what is truly important in their rush to address the many demands of the urgent.  They must be able to face reality with courage, find meaning in hardship and improvise when faced with seemingly impossible obstacles.

The goal of this workshop is to apply resiliency research and methodologies to enhance and strengthen the capacity of leaders and their organizations, moving them beyond survival to significance and sustainability.  The principles of Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) are used as a template for assessing organizational capacity and developing strategies for continued relevance and success.
