FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS

In response to feedback from its grantee partners, CMF will sponsor workshops on Financial Management. These workshops will be in-person, and will be facilitated by Gretchen Upholt of BDO.

 

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT THROUGH A LENS OF INCLUSION
Thursday, October 30  | 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM  | Marriott Burr Ridge

Financial management is about more than just the numbers; plans and strategies embody what we value as organizations. It’s not just about the financial systems and processes — but also about the who: who is invited to participate in planning, who has access to data, and who is involved in making decisions. Participants will learn how to incorporate inclusion into financial planning, performance management and fiscal operations.
