Free and Charitable Clinics are critical components of community emergency response and recovery. For many clinics, engaging in emergency preparedness activities can be challenging – especially when faced with time constraints, volunteer staff, and limited financial resources. This webinar will cover essential planning activities to ensure that clinics understand the fundamentals of preparedness so they are better positioned to support their communities during times of greatest need.
Succession Planning is often the last thing considered by an organization – until it is needed last month because of an unexpected change in organizational leadership. This webinar will focus on the basics for establishing sound policies and guidelines in regard to sucession planning for governance, administrative and operational leadership.
