Faculty: Cindy Willmann, Chief Operating Officer, Trust for the National Mall
What does it actually take to scale a nonprofit, and how do you do it in a way that strengthens your organization along the way?
This session will share lessons from one organization’s growth journey as a case study, what helped scale successfully, what had to be figured out along the way, and the adjustments that made the biggest difference. This is a practical, experience-based conversation about how organizations evolve as they grow, and how to navigate that transition more intentionally.
We’ll cover building new systems, clarifying priorities, and strengthening culture during growth. The goal is to give you useful insights you can apply in your own organization—whether you’re preparing for growth or already in the middle of it.
Learning Objective:
- Growth Is an Opportunity to Strengthen Your Foundation
- Prioritization Is What Makes Growth Sustainable
- Culture Doesn’t Just Happen – You Must Nurture the Culture You Want
