Webinar One: Budget Analysis, Audit Readiness, and Revenue Generation (90 Minutes)

Responsible decision-making begins with information gathering. This webinar will focus on how programs engage in a thorough analysis of their current financial situation and considerations associated with audit readiness and revenue generation.  

Webinar Two: Considerations Before Deciding to Downsize or Close an Immigration Legal Services Program (90 Minutes)

This second webinar of the series is for programs that may be unable to sustain current staffing levels. Organizational leadership must consider risks and responsibilities that impact downsizing and/or closure, and management of communication should be top of mind, both internally and externally.
