If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what is the recipe for the finance department keep auditors and stakeholders at bay? While it's not as simple as eating an apple a day, a quick check up to review best practices can help your community action agency improve your grant management and communicate to stakeholders. I originally presented this slideshow as a webinar discussing how CAAs can enable their program staff, communicate with nonfinancial board members, and manage their grants in an effective and transparent manner. This presentation will make sure your CAA is keeping up with trends and best practices to maintain funding and increase your impact in the community. If you would like to contact me to give this talk live to your organization, please contact me at jeffrey.sobers@blackbaud.com.
