When an organization adopts OANO’s Standards for Excellence it is:
· Demonstrating program performance to funders
· Instilling client confidence
· Exhibiting quality services to volunteers

The Standards for Excellence are intended to describe how the most well managed and responsibly governed organizations should and do operate. During these educational clinics, OANO will address eight guiding principles, along with 58 Standards in nonprofit management. Areas that are covered include: Mission and Program; Governing Body; Conflict of Interest; Human Resources; Financial and Legal; Public Accountability; Fundraising; and Public Affairs and Public Policy.

Clinics will include presentations and resource materials to assist in implementing best practices. Lunch will also be provided. Two people from an organization are welcome to attend (should be executive level and/or board member).

Thursday, May 18th, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Thursday, May 25th, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Organizations must plan to participate on both dates as different information will be covered each day.
