Strategic Planning: Aligning with God's Vision - Workshop
9:00 AM - 11:30 AM PDT
Event Information
In today's dynamic environment, strategic planning is crucial for nonprofit and ministry leaders seeking to align their efforts with God’s vision. But how do you think both biblically and strategically when it comes to planning, and do you even have the framework to do that? This year's Q4 workshop demystifies the strategic planning process by breaking it down into key components: mission, objectives, strategies, and tactics. This workshop is designed to equip nonprofit leaders, Executive Directors, board members, ministry staff, and volunteers with the tools and insights needed to develop robust, agile plans that foster growth and resilience. All are welcome, including those with a plan and those yet to create one. Register you and your team today!

Featuring - Julie Schaecher
Area Director, San Diego, Mission Increase
Julie Schaecher serves as the Area Director for Mission Increase San Diego. When this Mi community began, she served as Director of Operations and was very quickly involved in all aspects of Mi San Deigo. She is an author and inspirational speaker with a diverse background as a former Executive Pastor, business consultant, and leadership coach. With over 35 years of experience, Julie has dedicated her time to assisting organizational leaders both domestically and internationally in strategically navigating positive change and overcoming obstacles that impede their God-inspired visions—a pursuit she affectionately refers to as her "chocolate."
Julie and her husband Mike have been married for a wonderful 35+ years. They have proudly called San Diego home since 1986, where they are blessed to live life with their three married, adult children, their spouses, and many cherished grandchildren.
Julie considers this season of life her varsity and best, filled with gratitude for the journey she shares with like-minded individuals who believe there's no better time than the present to build God's kingdom.
Featuring - Nic Gilmour
Area Director, San Diego, Mission Increase
Having grown up in Western Australia, and now finding himself in North County San Diego, Nic Gilmour counts it a privilege to serve as the Area Director for Mission Increase San Diego. He has been a follower of Jesus since 1984, partnered with the incredible V since 1993, and dad to supa-kiddos Mo, Tino and Evey for enough time to know that fathering is better – and far more exacting – than he ever could've dreamed. He coaches (rugby & org health), mentors (people who'll far exceed him), surfs (badly but often), and eats pizza (ok, too much). To V’s dismay, he doesn't like kale. At all. Due to a misspent youth, he somehow ended up with degrees in history & literature, law, leadership and organizational dynamics, and practical theology – including a masters from Fuller and a doctorate from Gordon-Conwell. Since moving to SoCal in 2013, at North Coast Calvary (his spiritual home), Mission Increase (his vocational home), and Oceanside (his beach-home), Nic spends much of his time shepherding apostolic types – ‘those who’ll take on hell with a squirt gun.’ Through life, community and hard-lessons (typically involving God kindly giving Nic a brick to the head) he's more convinced now than ever that the only worthwhile spirituality is one with boots on, that walks.
