Google Sites is a free website builder and hosting service provided by Google. It allows users to create and publish websites without needing to have any prior knowledge of coding or web design. 

CACTC and the Cortland County Health Department have started using Google Sites as a tool for engaging with the public, communicating with partner agencies, and fostering collaboration within internal teams. You may have seen Google Sites in action with CCHD’s CHA and CHIP Portal or CACTC’s Health Communications Portal.

In this session, we will discuss possible use cases for Google Sites, such as

• Public facing web pages to make information accessible

• Partner facing portals to facilitate collaboration and shared documents

• Internal staff or board portals to consolidate foundational and onboarding documents

Aster Parrott and Matt Whitman (CACTC ) and Margaret Broderick (Cortland County Health Department) will present examples of each use case and share what they’ve learned through implementation. Our speakers will also highlight some of the most useful Google Sites features and some tips for building a new one.

Whether you're looking to create a public-facing website to showcase your organization's work, a private site for internal teams to collaborate and share resources, or a partner site to streamline communication with external agencies, this webinar has something for you.

Matt Whitman, CACTC Executive Director, will be providing an overview of how integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and automation can enhance project management for non-profit organizations. By incorporating AI and automation, organizations can streamline their marketing and content creation, communications, data analysis, strategic planning, assessment, fundraising, and other functions.

In this workshop, we will explore the core areas where AI and automation can be implemented and show how they can be used in different contexts. We will provide an overview of generative AI, showcase examples of its application, and introduce various AI tools such as ChatGPT, sound enhancement softwares, programs to help with Excel, and more!

Join us as we delve into the exciting world of AI and automation for non-profit project management and learn how to leverage these powerful tools to maximize your organization's impact.

As the writer Antoine Saint-Exupery once said, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” 

Using a strong public health planning model is essential to making data-driven decisions, or decisions that are strategically aligned with your organization’s mission, identified needs, selected strategies and desired outcomes. 

Developing broad, all-encompassing goals and SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Phased) objectives is a key component in this type of planning process, leading to more objectivity in the implementation and evaluation of selected initiatives and a greater likelihood of making a positive impact on community health outcomes.

During this 1-hour webinar, participants will: 

• explore the steps of a data-driven public health planning process to guide prevention efforts and examine the role and importance of goal- and objective-setting within such a process 

We will: 

• examine the differences between goals and objectives and describe how to develop clear goals and SMART objectives, working through examples of each to improve upon them 

Participants will also have an opportunity to discuss their past successes and barriers to setting and pursuing goals and objectives in their prevention planning efforts and consider real-world benefits and challenges of committing to this type of process.
