Join us for part one of Real Estate Readiness, our free, three-part series designed for community organizations who are starting or considering a facility project. In this series you will learn how to assess your organization’s financial readiness, whether you should pursue leasing or buying, and how to get on the path to ownership. 

In this session, we will help you assess your organization’s financial readiness as we explore:

• How to use financial ratios to understand your organization’s financial health and stability
• How to look at the implications of occupancy costs on your budget and what you might be able to afford
• Strategies to establish a reserve to support a real estate project or other organizational innovation

These workshops are ideal for executive directors, senior managers, and board members who are looking for real estate solutions for their organization. Executive directors and board chairs are strongly encouraged to attend together. We recommend that you attend all three sessions of this series, but each workshop will still provide valuable information if attended on its own.
