An easy thing for senior management to do is to develop an annual nonprofit checklist – a schedule of important activities and dates published in the early part of each year. When this list is presented to the board for their information and shared with your staff, it is sure to make planning an easier task.
Capacity Canada have put together an excellent annual nonprofit checklist that can be used as-is or amended to suit your purposes. At the very least, it provides you with a guide so that you can develop your own. Be advised that every one of your directors will silently thank you for letting them know meeting dates and other key milestones early in the year. It makes their schedules much easier to build! And your staff will also be happy knowing key deadlines well-in-advance.
