 <\/p>\n

It was great to be joined by Soi Pearson, one of SociaLink\u2019s Co-Chairs, and Christa George, SociaLink\u2019s Organisational Advisor.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rose Hiha-Agnew, CEO of CGA<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • CGA surveyed the community sector earlier in the year and one of their findings was that 55% were facing closure of services and\/or staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    A conversation between Rob Campbell and David Latele about BBM \u2013 Buttabean Motivation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    • \u2018LinkedIn is like Facebook for people with money\u2019 \u2013 good place to seek donations\/support<\/li>\n
    • People with money do not know what is happening for people on the bottom rung of the ladder; BBM invest in 4 people working fulltime in social media to promote BBM, give a voice to the voiceless and fund raise<\/li>\n
    • People struggling in our communities is everyone\u2019s problem; when people can\u2019t find homes, do not have enough money to eat they will come through your windows and your cars<\/li>\n
    • Importance of having well-respected people on your Board to give the organisation kudos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Adele Stowe-Lindner \u2013 Institute of Community Directors (ICDA) Australia<\/strong><\/h4>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      • NZers give double the amount of donations compared to Australia<\/li>\n
      • Be aware of \u2018them and us\u2019; whilst you might not agree with the government, you don\u2019t want to harm any relationship with them<\/li>\n
      • Referred to a report from Social Ventures Australia \u2013 Pay What it Takes \u2013 it talks about the \u2018non-profit starvation cycle\u2019, which starts with funders\u2019 inaccurate expectations of the true costs needed to run not-for-profits. These expectations lead not-for-profits to under-report their costs to funders. In the end, they lead to a sector starved of the necessary core funding required to create resilient charities delivering long-term impact on complex social issues.<\/li>\n
      • A report about understanding attitudes to Australia\u2019s community sector has been published \u2013 Community Compass \u2013 a segmentation of Australian views and engagement with the community sector \u2013 July 2024 \u2013 Rebecca Huntly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Salary Packaging \u2013 Barry Baker, Grant Thornton<\/strong><\/h4>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • CGA is working with Grant Thornton about introducing salary packaging to NZ; it has been operating in Australia for a few decades to make salaries more competitive for those working in the NFP sector \u2013 salary packaging means you receive part of your income tax free. If you want to find out more go to the CGA website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

           <\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Artificial Intelligence \u2013 Matt Bostwick<\/strong><\/h4>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          • Important to have organisational policy on data security and how AI is used<\/li>\n
          • Feed copilot info to create reports<\/li>\n
          • AI can help composing emails, help with tone and clarity<\/li>\n
          • Can translate communications into other languages<\/li>\n
          • AI can be used for strategic planning<\/li>\n
          • Had an example of how an opp shop created an e-commerce site to sell garments and items, once a picture of the garment\/item was taken, AI can generate a description of it to put on the website.<\/li>\n
          • AI will get more powerful over the next 6-12 months to the point where it can act like your agent e.g. book travel, accommodation etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
