SUMMARY:NETGroup: Evaluation Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Build Smarter Programs: Integrating Evaluation for Stronger Outcomes and Funding \nWe will be joined by Scott Green\, CEO and Co-founder of The G2 Consulting Group\, who will speak about the topic: “Build Smarter Programs: Integrating Evaluation for Stronger Outcomes and Funding”. \nMany nonprofit human service agencies are expected to demonstrate impact\, yet evaluation is often added after a program is already designed\, leading to misaligned metrics\, staff burden\, and limited usefulness of data. This session will explore how to intentionally build evaluation into program design from the start\, positioning it as a strategic tool for improving services\, strengthening outcomes\, and increasing funding competitiveness. Participants will be introduced to a practical\, step-by-step framework for defining outcomes\, aligning data collection with service delivery\, and creating feedback loops that support continuous improvement. Through real-world examples and actionable guidance\, this session will help agencies move from compliance-driven evaluation to a more integrated\, meaningful approach that enhances both program effectiveness and impact storytelling. \nThe G2 Consulting Group (www.theg2group.com) is a mission-driven health and human services consulting firm that partners with federal\, state\, and local government agencies as well as community-based organizations to address complex challenges through integrated expertise in strategy\, evaluation\, and organizational development. Since 2018\, G2 has combined clinical and public health knowledge with management consulting to deliver tailored\, practical solutions that strengthen organizational effectiveness and community impact. The firm has supported a range of community-focused efforts\, including leading public health evaluations for the City of St. Louis\, advancing organizational assessment and strategic implementation for HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau\, strengthening nonprofit operations for AIDS United\, and evaluating interventions with WRMA for the Administration for Community Living to address opioid misuse among Adult Protective Services clients. In addition\, G2 helps organizations understand how evaluation is directly tied to sustainability\, as data becomes a critical tool for demonstrating impact and securing future funding. Across engagements\, G2 applies culturally responsive\, data-driven approaches that help organizations clarify priorities\, measure impact\, and improve outcomes for the communities they serve. \n  \n \nThis program is made possible by the generous support of The G2 Consulting Group\, a company that supports a range of strategic and operational consulting support with subject matter and technical experts in health and human services to empower government and community-based organizations to address critical organizational challenges through strategic planning\, organizational development\, full-lifecycle business development\, training\, and program evaluation. Our consulting expertise helps to maximize organizational impact on communities and improve financial sustainability.

SUMMARY:NETGroup: Chief Financial Officers
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Data\, Dashboards & Financial Storytelling \nAs CFOs\, we are no longer just stewards of the numbers—we are translators of financial insight. This session will explore which metrics truly matter and how to present them in a way that drives understanding\, engagement\, and decision-making among executive teams and board members. \nTogether\, we’ll discuss: \n\nWhat key financial and operational metrics CFOs are prioritizing today (and which ones are falling away)\nHow to design dashboards that highlight what’s important and what’s not\nWays to tailor financial data for different audiences—executives vs. boards vs. program leaders\nTechniques for turning data into a clear\, compelling narrative that connects financial performance to mission and strategy\nExamples of dashboards that support real-time insight\, transparency\, and accountability across organizations\n\nStrong dashboards don’t just report results—they surface trends\, highlight risks\, and prompt action. \nThis session will be an opportunity to share tools\, formats\, and approaches that make financial data more accessible\, meaningful\, and impactful. \nWe look forward to a rich discussion and the opportunity to learn from one another. \n \nThis program is made possible by the generous support of SAX Advisory Group\, a full-service Accounting\, Tax & Advisory firm serving the unique needs of closely held companies\, family-owned businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, and high-net worth individuals.

SUMMARY:Salary Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:You’re not imagining it — the rules of the game have changed. Pay transparency laws gave us more data\, but they didn’t necessarily level the playing field. We’ve entered an era of tighter budgets\, cautious hiring\, and stricter internal decision-making\, where negotiation is no longer a given. To succeed now\, you need a sophisticated\, holistic strategy. During this webinar\, we’ll show you a value-first approach that starts at the very first interview\, not the final offer. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to position yourself as their #1 “must-have” candidate\, so that they want to pay you more. \nDuring this webinar\, we’ll cover… \n– An overview of the hiring climate in 2026 and how the new pay transparency laws have changed the game\n– The importance of defining your personal non-negotiables and strategically applying only to jobs that align\n– How to build a business case (from the beginning!) that makes it easy for a hiring manager to justify giving you more\n– Step-by-step tactics and sample scripts for discussing salary at every stage of the hiring process\n– How to evaluate an offer and determine when to say yes\, when to push back\, and when to walk away
