NAVIGATING COMPLEX DECISION-MAKING:
Community Connections, Session 1
Join us for the first of a 3-topic series on
our interactive virtual event platform
This PFE Community Connections series is intentionally designed to:
At each 3-hour session, join peers for networking in the virtual space. An opening panel or dialogue will introduce the program. Then, participants will select a breakout room where you will be invited to reflect, relate and activate deeper conversations around today's topic. Throughout the day, the virtual space will remain open for self-selected networking, peer meet-ups and 1:1 meetings. At the end of each Community Connection day, PFE will host a digital happy hour. Following the series, Leading-From-Within will partner via follow-on peer offerings aligned with sector interest around PFE topics.
This PFE digital series hopes to engage some of our lost connectivity, creativity and sector spirit. Come experiment with us around the simple powers of conversation.
There are several options for you to participate in the series:
**Please note: You must register to participate in any part of the program
October 22: Navigating Complex Decision Making
8:30 AM | Event platform opens for networking and orientation
9:30 AM | Event program begins with panel, then breakouts
11:30 AM | Topic program ends; virtual space open for networking/connections
5:00 PM | Participants re-convene for Virtual Happy Hour
A funder and nonprofit panel will open a community conversation, introducing ideas and sharing stories to activate further exploration among participants in breakout groups following the panel.
A case-studies approach with two organizations thriving during this pandemic will reveal challenges and insights in navigating recent decisions around increased service demand, remote staff engagement and funding shifts. Continued conversations among participants may open other focused ideas for listening to and learning from one another.

About the Partnership for Excellence
Generously sponsored by The Foundation Roundtable for more than 25 years, the Partnership for Excellence (PFE) convenes hundreds of Santa Barbara County nonprofit and foundation staff and leaders to learn, network, and collaborate together. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, PFE 2020 at The Alisal Ranch was canceled in April. This fall, our sponsors are stepping forward to offer a free, digital series focused on re-connecting members of our sector.
