Are you a grantmaker interested in learning more about specific tactics, strategies and best practices around race equity?

The Johnson Center for Philanthropy is developing a competency model for program officers, which details the competencies that program officers need to be effective in their work. In November 2018, the GEO Grantmaker Guidebook group hosted a call to review and give feedback on a draft of the model, which helped shape the content and approach to developing current version of the model. Continue to help shape the model by learning about work completed since the last call, reviewing a more complete version of the model, indicating competencies that may have been missed, or adding important considerations that enrich the recommendations. Join us for brief presentation by Michael Pratt and Teri Behrens on this work, followed by a rich group discussion to inform the next iteration of the model.
Join us to learn more about the Change Leaders in Philanthropy Fellowship, a 10-month peer cohort program for senior leaders who are responsible for developing and shepherding key change efforts in their organizations.

Join FSG and GEO as we discuss the release of our new toolkit Engaging Boards and Trustees in Strategic Learning.

During this webinar, we will explore some of these resources and hear from Hallie Preskill (FSG),
Kevin Walker (Northwest Area Foundation), and Hanh Cao Yu (The California Endowment) who have worked to deepen learning with their boards and trustees.
