[The Network] Less than a week until: Results-Oriented Management and Accountability, June 11 in Fort Collins

Don't miss Results-Oriented Management and Accountability

June 11, 9am to 4pm at Larimer County Dept of Human Services, 1501 Blue Spruce, Fort Collins, CO 80524

Nonprofit and public sector management differ significantly from the private sector. We are mission-driven, NOT profit-driven. Nonetheless, the need for a sustainable business model is true for all three sectors. Businesses grow by showing a profit. For us it is different: in order to survive and flourish in the current economic/political climate, both nonprofits and government agencies must deliver the very best service possible for their clients—and be prepared to back that up with solid, evidence-based accountability.

ROMA is a performance-based initiative, designed to preserve the anti-poverty focus of community action and to promote greater strategic planning. It is an established best-practice, vetted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ROMA is highly effective in successfully managing both nonprofits and government agencies.

ROMA addresses Results-Oriented Management by: assessing poverty needs and conditions within the community; defining a clear agency anti-poverty mission for community action and a strategy to address those needs, both immediate and longer term, in the context of existing resources and opportunities in the community; identifying specific improvements, or results, to be achieved among low-income people and the community; and organizing and implement programs, services, and activities, such as advocacy, within the agency and among "partnering" organizations, to achieve anticipated results.

ROMA addresses Results-Oriented Accountability by: developing and implementing strategies to measure and record improvements in the condition of low-income people and the communities in which they live that result from community action intervention; and using information about outcomes, or results, among agency boards and staff to determine the overall effectiveness of strategies, inform annual and long-range planning, and supporting agency advocacy, funding, and community partnership activities.

Lunch and beverages provided. Eligible for 6 hours CEU.
