SUMMARY:Listen\, Learn\, Respond: Making Community Feedback Meaningful
DESCRIPTION:About This Webinar\nPlease note that this is a free virtual event. \nMost nonprofits gather feedback in some way. But are we asking for feedback to help us decide which programs to scale up\, sunset\, or re-imagine? How can we ask the right questions\, hear what our communities are telling us\, and use that information to guide our decisions? \nWith funding and community needs shifting\, nonprofits are making important decisions about programs\, services\, and resources. It is easier to make decisions the community can understand when we take into consideration what their communities value and need. \nJoin CNM for a conversation facilitated by Listen4Good exploring what meaningful community feedback can look like\, and the many ways organizations can use this information for good. Through practical insights and real-world examples\, we’ll look at how feedback can challenge assumptions we make\, surface what matters most to the people we serve\, and help us feel grounded as we make important decisions about our programs and services. \nWhether you already have a feedback process or are figuring out where to begin\, this session will offer ideas you can take back to your organization. \n\n  \nWhat We’ll Explore\n\nWhat a strong community feedback loop looks like and practices that can make feedback more meaningful and useful.\nHow organizations with different programs and services are using community feedback to strengthen their programs and increase their impact.\nHow to recognize what’s working in your organization’s current feedback practices and where there may be opportunities to strengthen them.\nPractical starting points for making community feedback a more useful part of your organization’s work and decision-making.\n\n\n  \nWho Should Attend\nThis webinar is for nonprofit professionals interested in strengthening how their organizations listen to and learn from the communities they serve\, particularly those involved in program planning and delivery\, organizational strategy\, community engagement\, evaluation\, data\, or fundraising. \nFunders and philanthropic partners interested in community-informed approaches are also welcome. \n  \nFacilitator Bio:\nHeidi Elneil\, Senior Coordinator of Partner Services – Listen4Good \nHeidi Elneil is the Senior Coordinator of Partner Services at Listen4Good and\, in that role\, is the first thought partner that nonprofits have in assessing and strengthening their feedback processes.
