• Risk management planning centers on identifying, prioritizing and dealing with those areas of potential loss or adverse impact within any organization. This planning process need not be cumbersome. In fact, with some basic preparation, a solid plan for implementing risk management practices can be put in place in a very short time. Risk management should be an ongoing routine within your fundraising activities, particularly in planning special events and campaigns.
  
  
• In today's environment of increasing litigation and intense public sector scrutiny, fundraisers need to develop effective risk management plans. Similarly, fundraisers need to have strategies in place to deal with a wide variety of business interruptions including internal crises such as the departure of a key staff member or investigations by outside authorities. The presentation will emphasize a practical, hands-on approach to risk management planning.
