ABOUT FALL FORUM
Compliance doesn’t live in one office. It runs through finance, programs, leadership, and every department that touches a grant. As the grants environment continues to evolve, building a strong internal compliance strategy is more critical than ever.
This full-day virtual training brings together industry experts and practitioners to explore practical approaches for embedding compliance into everyday operations. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for aligning departments, communicating with leadership, and building internal tools and processes that hold up as regulations and staff change. Earn up to 6 CPE credits.
What to Expect
Fall Forum will consist of six sessions (10 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. ET) and an optional networking hour (5 – 6 p.m. ET). Sessions will equip grants professionals with the tools to strengthen compliance from the inside out, by showing you how to build the systems, workflows, and cross-departmental partnerships that make compliance sustainable across your organization.
