SUMMARY:Emergency Preparedness Toolkit Working Sessions - NETLab: Phase One
DESCRIPTION:Build Your Agency’s Emergency Preparedness Plan Together \nWhen a large-scale emergency or disaster strikes\, human service agencies play a critical role in helping communities respond\, recover\, and maintain essential services. Effective preparedness planning helps agencies maintain operations\, communicate with clients\, coordinate with community partners\, and continue providing stability and support when their communities need them most. \nYou told us that having dedicated time to work through the Emergency Preparedness Toolkit alongside peers would be valuable\, and we listened. \nThe Network’s Emergency Preparedness Toolkit Working Sessions are a three-part interactive NETLab series designed to help member agencies make meaningful progress toward completing their Emergency Preparedness Toolkit. Rather than simply learning about preparedness\, participants will have dedicated time to work through sections of the Toolkit alongside peers\, share ideas and best practices\, and learn from the experiences of other Network member agencies. \nComplete your Toolkit for a chance to attend PowerNET 2027 for free! \nMember agencies that participate in at least one Working Session and complete their Emergency Preparedness Toolkit by December 14\, 2026\, will be entered into a drawing to win one of three complimentary registrations to PowerNET 2027. \nSession One: Phase One\nOctober 8\, 2026 | 12:00–1:30 PM ET \nIn the first Working Session\, participants will focus on Phase One of the Emergency Preparedness Toolkit and begin defining their agency’s role during a large-scale emergency. \nThrough facilitated discussion\, breakout groups\, and dedicated working time\, participants will consider how their agency’s service area and responsibilities could change during an emergency\, how different types of disasters may affect their role\, what expertise their organization brings to the community\, and which community partnerships can support an effective response. Participants will then begin working through the three sections of Phase One and drafting responses they can bring back to their teams. \nThis session is designed for CEOs and C-Suite leaders and will be co-facilitated by Sarah Abrahams\, JFS Executive Director of Shalom Austin \nCome ready to work\, and leave with real progress toward completing your agency’s Emergency Preparedness Toolkit. \nCheck Out the Next Sessions\nSession Two: Phase Two / Build Your Emergency Response TeamNovember 19\, 2026 | 3:00–4:00 PM ET \nContinue into Phase Two by focusing on one of the foundations of emergency preparedness: your Emergency Response Team. Participants will explore the roles that make up an effective ERT and spend dedicated working time building their agency’s team. \nSession Two will be co-facilitated by Lynn Breuer\, Senior Director\, Community Outreach & Wellness\, JFS Metro Detroit  \nRegister for Session Two \nSession Three: Complete Phase TwoDecember 1\, 2026 | 3:00–4:30 PM ET \nComplete the remaining sections of Phase Two\, including Operational Continuity and Resource Management; Communication\, Outreach & Collaboration; and Training & Drills. Participants will work through these areas together and consider how to put their completed Toolkit into action across their organizations. \nSession Three will be co-facilitated by Morgan Zeringue\, Director of Program Services\, Joan and Stanford Alexander JFS  \nRegister for Session Three \nQuestions about the Emergency Preparedness Toolkit or Working Sessions?

SUMMARY:PowerNET Replay Series: Using Social Media Livestreams to Educate and Inspire NETTalk
DESCRIPTION:Miss PowerNET? Missed PowerNET? Continue the PowerNET experience- or start it here!\nThe PowerNET Replay Workshop Series brings the energy and insight of our annual conference directly to your screen. This special NETTalk series features eight of the highest-rated sessions from PowerNET 2026\, presented again by the original speakers for those who couldn’t attend the conference\, missed a concurrent session\, or want another opportunity to engage with the content. \nDesigned for nonprofit professionals\, agency leaders\, and changemakers in Jewish human services\, these replay sessions offer the same impactful learning\, practical strategies\, and thought-provoking discussions that resonated with PowerNET attendees. \nWhether you’re advancing leadership strategies\, exploring innovation\, or working to strengthen your agency’s impact\, PowerNET Replay is here to keep the conversation\, and the momentum\, going. \nGoing Live with Impact: Using Social Media Livestreams to Educate and Inspire\nOctober 14th\, 2:00-3:00pm ET \nIn an increasingly digital world\, human service organizations are expected to reach\, educate\, and mobilize their audiences far beyond traditional events or newsletters. Yet many agencies struggle with how to present sensitive topics authentically\, engage professionals alongside community members\, and translate social media activity into measurable impact. This workshop will explore how the Jewish Fertility Foundation (JFF) built its successful Instagram Live series connecting fertility professionals\, innovators\, and individuals with lived experience to a broad audience eager for education and inspiration. Participants will learn how JFF curates credible voices\, protects the dignity of personal stories\, and balances medical expertise with accessibility. Key topics include: selecting and preparing guests\, framing complex or sensitive issues for a public audience\, promoting sessions for maximum attendance or re-watches\, and using live content to spark ongoing engagement with donors\, partners\, and volunteers. We will also discuss common challenges\, such as safeguarding privacy\, handling misinformation in real time\, and sustaining consistent programming with limited staff capacity\, and offer practical solutions JFF has developed. Attendees will leave with a step-by-step playbook for designing\, promoting\, and producing their own live social media series. The approach is low-cost\, replicable\, and adaptable for any cause area\, providing a powerful\, scalable way to elevate expert knowledge\, human stories\, and organizational impact in the human services sector. \nPresented by: \n\nJulie Cohen\, Senior Manager\, Jewish Fertility Foundation\n\n \n  \n \nThis program is made possible by the generous support of CARS\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping human service organizations expand access to safe\, affordable transportation for older adults and other vulnerable populations. Originally established as a subsidiary of Jewish Family Service of San Diego\, CARS has grown its On the Go transportation management platform to serve nonprofits nationwide\, empowering organizations to coordinate transportation and delivery services that improve independence\, access to care\, and quality of life. \n  \nCheck out the next NETTalk:\nTensions and Alignment: The relationship between funders and service providers\nOctober 22nd\, 1:00-2:00pm ET \nRegister Here \nHosted by the Development Professionals NETGroup \nAny service providing agency seeks out funders to support their work and for most of us in the Jewish social service world\, we partner with funders from within the Jewish community as well as outside the Jewish community like government funding and corporate foundations. These relationships always have enough alignment to lead to funding – but there is inevitably tension in the relationship too. In this session\, JIAS Toronto and two of our funders will speak candidly about some of these tensions: \n– Storytelling: who has the right to tell the stories of our clients and work? Everyone is telling the stories of clients and services – the agencies\, the funders\, community partners\, and everyone we interact with. Who has the right to tell the story? What story is appropriate to tell? \n– Red Lines: what do we do if funders have particular positions or guidelines that are not perfectly aligned with the funded agency? Every funder has been faced with an agency they want to fund for a particular project; however\, there is a value misalignment that may upset board members or conflict with the funder’s guidelines. What happens in these situations for both parties? And as we grow and change as organizations\, our narratives change\, both grantees and funders. How do we check (and do we?) if we still have enough in common and there is no misalignment on the fundamentals. \n– Reporting: what can a funder ask for\, what do they have a right to know? It’s not unheard of for an agency to get a new request from a funder for data or stories partway through a granting period. Do you always need to say yes? \n– Service Delivery Preferences: funders sometimes want to influence how a program or service is delivered and by whom. \nWhen a funder has a strong opinion about how the services should be delivered or which staff or partners should or should not be involved\, what does a grantee do to maintain funding and also maintain control of their work? The session will address these common tensions\, give examples of how both sides of the funding relationship address these issues\, and leave space for discussion on how we can address these tensions as a sector. \nPresented by: \n\nNaomi Kramer. Senior Manager\, Development\, JIAS Toronto\n\n \n\nJoshua Otis\, Senior Director\, Social Services and Community\, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto\n\n \n\nStacey Helpert\, President\, Stacey Helpert – Strategic Philanthropy\n\n \n  \nScroll to the Top to Register!

SUMMARY:AI Literacy: Turning Your AI into a Useful Assistant
DESCRIPTION:AI now plays a major role in hiring\, résumé screening\, and workplace communication — but most people misunderstand how it actually works. This 4‑day class teaches you how to supervise AI\, not rely on it. You’ll learn what AI really does (pattern prediction\, not thinking)\, how to describe its behavior accurately\, and how to evaluate its output with human judgment. \nYou’ll also learn how to make your skills visible to AI‑based résumé screeners\, rewrite vague statements so AI can recognize them\, and apply AI literacy principles to real job‑search and client‑support tasks. By the end of the course\, you’ll understand how to use AI safely\, clearly\, and effectively — and how to guide others to do the same.

SUMMARY:From Job Loss to Your Next Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Navigating a job loss is a skill we can all use. It is rarely taught even though it is almost a universal experience. When we’re suddenly severed from our company\, we lose our identity (title\, position\, power) and our sense of belonging to a community. It can be one of the most traumatic times of our professional lives. Yet\, a career disruption is an opportunity to define our value and actively pursue a role that has meaning and purpose and brings you happiness and fulfillment. \nIn this webinar\, guest speaker Robin Merle\, author of the book Involuntary Exit will guide participants through the emotional roller coaster of job loss and how to take action to move forward with intention. Even if you’re not in transition now\, the practical advice will put you ahead of the game. \nIn this Webinar you’ll learn how to:\n– Understand the stages of grief that come with job loss and separate facts from feelings\n– Rewrite your narrative so you can explain what happened and move forward with confidence\n– Define your value on your own terms so you are prepared to add value to a new role\n– Determine what you want and don’t want in your next role\n– Reframe your mindset to open yourself up to new opportunities\n– Create an accountability plan to boost your resilience\n– Network with realistic goals\n– Thrive as you move forward in the face of uncertainty \nThere will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation.
