When you hear the term "lay–professional relations," do you feel confused about roles? Do you have challenges in developing and maintaining relationships with lay leaders? If so, this session may be for you. Effective, respectful, and fulfilling lay–professional partnerships are the hallmark of successful nonprofits organizations. To articulate a clear and common understanding of where your organization or department is going and how it will get there, both professional and lay partners need to develop and exhibit key collaboration skills and shared expectations. This interactive session will provide a framework for fostering relationships built on cooperation, joint planning and implementation, effective communication, and shared values.
