Let’s demystify the budget preparation process together. Join us for coffee with other board chairs and our guest speaker Wim van Klinken, Chief Information Officer at Community of Christ and Senior Fellow at Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership. Drawing from decades of nonprofit financial management experience, Wim will walk through practical approaches to creating budgets that align with your mission, satisfy your board, and work in the real world. We hope this session transforms budget anxiety into budget confidence.

What to expect:

• Zero PowerPoints, all conversation
• "Yeah, that happened to me too" moments
• Coffee strong enough to fuel honest discussion
• Practical tips you can actually use at your next meeting

Bring your budget challenges, previous pain points, and questions about financial planning. Wim will share proven strategies while addressing your specific organizational concerns.
