As we began to prepare this posting earlier this summer, COVID was fading, vaccines were rising, and reopening in September 2021 seemed to be the focus for many of our clients and community partners.  What a difference a month can make!  The Delta variant and all of the uncertainty have led to significant delays in reopening plans for most organizations. It seems like each day there is new information for leaders to consider as they work to keep their staff, clients, and community safe while delivering on their mission. Our Reopening “GPS” continues to be “recalculating our route” with no one best path forward, but we hope these thoughts are helpful as you consider strategies for your organization. 

Our very own Christine Martin was recently featured on John Martinka's (Martinka Consulting) podcast series, "Getting the Deal Done." Listen to her explain why and how Valtas Group was founded,  market conditions for non-profits, mistakes that non-profits may be making, and how business people can add value to a non-profit organization.
