When You Get the Call: Preparing for Urgent Requests from Above

Tuesday, July 23, 2019 | 9:00AM–9:30AM MT | Grand Ballroom A, second level
Session Type: General Session

When urgent requests arrive—and they will—what can you do to be ready? We will share examples of urgent proposals requested to meet budget, grant, donor, or other deadlines. These can be opportunities (new funding for new projects) or challenges (need to cut operational dollars). Either way, effective leaders are prepared.


Learning Objectives: Understand conditions that can lead to urgent proposals * Identify strategies for readiness * Develop confidence to handle urgent requests from both tactical and emotional perspectives
