Sarkeys Foundation Southwest Regional Leadership Forum
5/6/2009
Minds are like parachutes; they only work when open.
Sarkeys Foundation Southwest Regional Leadership Forum
November 17 – 18, 2009
Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center
Norman, Oklahoma
Open your mind to creative thinking during this two-day intensive training conference featuring national keynote speakers and 40 breakout sessions. During these difficult economic circumstances, there has never been a more important time to learn from national and regional experts on financial leadership, fundraising, strategic planning, board governance, and communication. New session topics focus on social marketing strategies and how nonprofits can be more “green.”
Three of the nationally recognized speakers includes: Kevin Carroll, an author, speaker and agent for social change. With his effervescent energy, wit, and humor, Kevin helps people harness the power of sport and play as a vehicle for chasing and achieving their dreams. Sam Glenn, the Authority on Attitude, has shared his “Kick in Your Attitude” message with more than 2-million people and audiences really connect to his chalk art presentations. Karen Purvis is known to many as The Child Whisperer. Her research, training, and outreach, which have drawn national attention, focuses on special needs children who have been adopted into caring families. This will be a special pre-conference session.
The 2009 Forum is the perfect opportunity for board members, professionals, foundation and corporate leaders, volunteers, and others committed to the nonprofit sector to seek creative solutions and outside-the-box thinking. With a parachute theme for this year’s conference, a key idea to keep in mind is that a parachute is carefully folded, or "packed" to ensure that it will open reliably. The clients of nonprofit organizations deserve to know their parachute – your organization – will be there for them and on that they can rely.
Additional information about the 2009 Southwest Regional Leadership Forum is available at www.sarkeys.org or by calling 405-364-3703.
