Gearing up for 2017!

January 3, 2017

Kari McCann Boutell, President, Iowa Council of Foundations

Happy new year! Many of us are making resolutions and setting personal goals for 2017. Now is also a good time to begin laying plans and setting goals for your affiliate and community foundations as well. One thing I do each year is create a calendar with important activities for my staff and one for my board. This helps give us a look at our activities for the full year and makes things manageable by breaking them down into monthly tasks.

If you don’t already use a tool like this, it is easy to create your own. I will help you get started by sharing some important dates and activities that ICoF has planned for you in 2017!
