Strengthening Our Movement: Decision Making

The work of domestic and sexual violence organizations is built on relationships and collaboration, and it takes all of us working together to support survivors and prevent violence. Collaborative and transparent decision-making processes can help us build stronger connections both inside and outside our organizations. An organization’s mission should be the foundation for how decisions are made. This webinar will offer guidance on how organizations can create decision-making processes that stay true to their mission while strengthening relationships with key stakeholders.

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

– Define and describe the concepts of mission effectiveness and mission-aligned decisions.
– Understand the differences between “need-to-know” versus “share-first” culture.
– Explore decision-making considerations and the value of facilitating stakeholder engagement in the process.
