TRAINING: SOMETIMES YOU NEED A BIT OF INSPIRATION

Burnam | Gray is available to lead training and conference sessions, webinars, or in-depth workshops for your nonprofit staff, leaders or Board of Directors. Whether it is a few hours, a full day, or a series of workshops or webinars, we will tailor our presentation to fit your needs and your audience. We have developed and facilitated full Board of Directors' retreats and staff sessions.

Perhaps your Board is just starting out and needs initial coaching on roles and responsibilities, or philanthropy, fundraising and communications. Maybe your existing Board is in need of reinvigoration, or you might be interested in bringing your staff together for a facilitated training. 

Whatever it is you are looking for, we are happy to talk with you further. Contact us so that, together, we can explore what your needs are and how we might be able to help. Carrie Gray has her Certificate of Nonprofit Board Consulting from BoardSource and is a Certified DISC trainer.
