Breakout Session 1: Cultivating a Culture of Team Development and Succession
Melissa Hall Sommer
Senior Vice President at Brighton Center
It has been almost 20 years since Peter Drucker said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. Yet nonprofits still find themselves running after strategy while not investing in deliberatively cultivating their organizational culture. The result of this on the talent and “bench strength” of an organization effects their overall longevity and impact. In this session, we take a journey into team development and succession strategies that are “baked in” to the agency culture. You will be provided with tools to assess your culture, and explore how to deliberately cultivate a culture which team development and succession is evident and powerful.
Melissa Hall Sommer
Melissa Hall Sommer is currently the Senior Vice President at Brighton Center, a community-based agency providing a uniquely comprehensive range of programs and services to achieve its mission of self-sufficiency in northern Kentucky. Melissa’s career at Brighton Center began in 1989, during her tenure at the Center she has had the opportunity to lead program efforts in the areas of Workforce Development, Early Childhood Education, and Family Development.

A conference like this needs lots of help! We could not put on Securing the Future each year without the help of an advisory committee from across our community. Please thank these volunteers for their help!

VUCA Leader: Vision, Understanding, Clarity, & Agility
This award recognizes an early-career leader in the Greater Cincinnati nonprofit sector who is positively impacting their organization and the community through demonstrated:
Vision, Understanding, Clarity & Agility (VUCA+)
while operating in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex & Ambiguous (VUCA-) world
Jai’La Nored, Council on Aging, Senior Innovation Designer
In her role as Senior Innovation Designer at Council on Aging, Jai’La has managed development — in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati’s Live Well Collaborative — of two game-changing, original technologies that have the potential to be scaled and adopted for statewide or national use to make a notable difference to older adults and caregivers who require the support of help at home but aren't able to secure it due to a nationwide aide shortage. As a result of this partnership, Live Well has tapped COA as a subject matter expert to inform their other endeavors, including a project with Procter & Gamble related to older adults, hygiene and personal care.
Jai'La has also led the development and implementation of COA’s employee intranet and other projects that have touched all COA’s programs in some way. She has become a sought-after resource within COA when a creative solution is required to fix a problem or launch a new service.
Jai’La is actively engaged in volunteer leadership roles where she organizes and advocates on behalf of those whose needs aren’t being met and at-risk individuals and communities, including Xavier University, Community Matters, Rosemary's Babies Co., and Girls with Grit.
Your Story Is Worthy Too
October 9, 2024, 8 am - 12 pm
Schiff Family Conference Center at Xavier Cintas Center
As leaders, we’re often so focused on sharing our organization’s mission that we forget the magic of sharing our own stories – and the power they have. Believing that your story is worthy transforms your posture in all circumstances.
In this groundbreaking keynote and workshop, you’ll discover how to release your internal self-doubt, eliminate imposter syndrome, and move past comparison mentality to grow visibility for your personal brand and thought leadership.
Through a series of comedic stories, Dana Snyder will share hard-won personal branding lessons to help you gain credibility and be recognized as a thought leader in your industry.
In this interactive workshop, we’ll look at:
- What stories can you pull from your lived experiences to develop your personal brand and amplify your mission?
- What outlets can you use to tell your stories?
- What content works best on LinkedIn and specific prompts for brainstorming.
Following the workshop, Dana and special guest Karen Harshaw will dive into annual giving, and tackle your toughest questions.
Join us in person or virtually as we navigate how to uplift our stories to make a positive impact on our organizations. This event is hosted by Barnes Dennig, the Association for Fundraising Professionals, and the Leadership Council for Nonprofits. Thank you to event sponsor Fifth Third Bank.
Program Overview
- Monthly meetings (generally 90 minutes) September through May
- 6-10 nonprofit leaders grouped by role or responsibility
- Participants commit to meeting real-time challenges and creating solutions
- Meeting time and location (including virtual options) determined by each group and facilitator

Breakout Session 2: Inclusion for Employees with Disabilities and Neurodiversity
Chrissy Perkins
Director of Disabilities Programming and Career Coach at JVS Careers
Organizations often view DEI as a number they need to meet to be compliant, versus truly understanding ways they can successfully support a person with a disability in the job they hire them to do. Our society continues to demonstrate a lack of understanding of what disability and neurodiversity is, and if you can’t see the disability, then it may feel “scary” to a hiring manager. So many organizations do not allow “job coaching” or other supports into their business to help people who are neurodiverse. This often leads to placement of individuals with disabilities in organizations without educating the team they will be working with so that all can be successful.
This session will help participants identify why it is so important not only to support a person with a disability, but to support the organization that hires them. A simple miscommunication or a different way one interprets things can make a difference in a person being successful in their employment. Participants will learn the importance of employer education, communication, consistency, team building, and important ways to promote inclusion in all aspects of employment. How do we support people who are neurodiverse and promote long term success, what are the barriers faced, and how can we overcome and change society’s perception of people who are neurodiverse.
Chrissy Perkins
Chrissy is Director of Disability Services and a Career Coach for JVS Careers. She has a more than 30-year work history of supporting individuals with disabilities. Chrissy brings a high level of passion and commitment to the world of disabilities and assisting individuals in reaching their full potential and becoming successful in employment. In her previous role she was the Director of Disability Services and developed, implemented, and managed multiple community programs that provided job readiness training, integrated opportunities, and on the job supports to the neurodivergent population. She has a vast network of connections with community employers and partners and is skilled in identifying learning styles, strengths, abilities, and specific needs of people to help with making good job matches.

Visionary Board Leader
This award honors an established and proven board member of a nonprofit organization in the Greater Cincinnati region who has led their organization through transformational change, weathered difficult circumstances, or demonstrated outstanding vision and achievement.
Jack Geiger, Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, Immediate Past Board Chair
Like many organizations, CYC was impacted by COVID. CYC also experienced the loss of a significant grant that led to the layoff of 8 people (16% of the organization) and went through a challenging leadership transition. During a vacancy in the CEO role, Jack jumped in as the interim CEO to help lead the organization through this difficult time. He went way above and beyond as a volunteer to help stabilize relationships with critical partners, donors, and staff members.
His nominator, CYC CEO Amy Thompson said, “Jack has role modeled and taught us about: conflict resolution, relationship building, employee development, improving the culture, donor connections, follow up, embracing a strategic mindset and focus, and so much more. CYC is a mentoring organization and Jack embraces this to the core. Jack has mentored younger board members including a future board chair. Jack has enhanced board members, staff and students’ leadership capabilities. Jack is constantly making connections to other organizations to help the organization collaborate and have greater community impact. and impact.”

Breakout Session 3: Not About Us Without Us
Brice Mickey
Vice President of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at Beech Acres Parenting Center
As the brilliant Ayanna Pressley says, “Those closest to the pain, should be closest to the power.” Too often nonprofits (and other institutions) are guilty of making decisions on behalf of others without inviting them to the table. This can have a myriad of negative consequences not only for the success of the project, but for institutional trust and communities those institutions serve.
In this interactive session, participants will have the opportunity for dialogue around areas where they are the experts and areas where they should invite in others. We will also explore best practices in terms of securing buy-in (and even championship) from the communities they serve.
Brice Mickey
Brice Mickey is the Vice President of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at Beech Acres Parenting Center. He also consults with Cohear and Avant Consulting Group. He got his start in DEI at the University of Cincinnati where he joined and later directed their nationally renowned Racial Awareness Program (RAPP). After leaving UC he went on to consult with over 100 organizations across the country to help them become more equitable and just. He loves road trips, fine dining, and the Golden Girls.
As the Founder of Positive Equation, Dana Snyder teaches non-profits how to use social media marketing and innovative technology to transform their online experiences. Dana has spoken at events such as the Classy Collaborative, Television Academy Foundation Summit, Cause Camp, NIO Summit, Take Stock in Children Statewide Conference, Dress for Success International Conference, Peer-to-Peer Forum, and many others.
After working in New York City and Los Angeles running digital campaigns for Movember, Dress for Success, Hashtag Lunchbag, LA84 Foundation, USTA, American Idol, and others, Dana wanted to share her learnings outside individual company boardrooms. In 2022, Dana launched her podcast, taking listeners behind the feed of compelling marketing strategies and case studies.
Today, through virtual workshops and in-person speaking engagements, she finds so much joy in sharing the room with people inspired to change the world providing intentional sessions designed for immediate impact whether guests are in the room…or on Zoom.

Inclusive Culture
This award recognizes a nonprofit organization that is welcoming at every level to every individual.
ArtWorks
To support its first formal board-approved DEIA plan, ArtWorks formed a DEIA committee, engaged an outside practitioner to help staff heighten cultural awareness, and in 2022 participated in the Ellequate Equity Certification Program which is focused on equity-centered action plans and data-driven insights. ArtWorks’ participation in the Ellequate program resulted in a silver level certification award which signified that the organization achieved significant progress in creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
Through the Ellequate program ArtWorks assessed policies and practices and engaged staff to identify core strengths and growth areas. They created an individual and family leave policy to promote flexible support to help employees thrive professionally without sacrificing important and essential obligations. The policy includes paid maternity and paternity leave up to 12 weeks, medical leave up to 12 weeks and family care leave up to 6 weeks. Priorities for 2023-2024 were established that include standardized recruiting and interviewing processes to eliminate unconscious bias, articulation of flexible work options that are perceived as equitable for all roles, development of a transparent, standardized, and objective promotion policy, set leadership diversity targets, and enhanced internal and external communications that use inclusive and accessible language that welcomes all.
Since the implementation of the plan, there has been an increase over two years in BIPOC board representation from 13% to 33% and an increase over two years in BIPOC administrative staff representation from 7% to 38%. Both seasonal and year-round staff participate in cultural awareness training, with a cultural assessment and 1:1 coaching for all new year-round administrative hires. Seasonal employment includes the employment of 55% BIPOC young artists and 50%+ BIPOC teaching artists over a three-year period. Mental health 101 training is required for all staff working with young people and professional mental health resiliency training is provided to young people participating in ArtWorks programs.
