Executive Director / President / CEO
-
Are you looking for guidance and direction in how to lead your nonprofit?
-
Are you struggling with the stress of multiple challenges?
-
Do you feel isolated or alone in your current position?
-
Do you feel inadequate in your role?
-
Do you face challenges of earning the public trust; aligning mission, methods, and resources; succession planning?
-
Are you frustrated in dealing with multiple bosses?
-
Do you second-guess yourself when making critical decisions?
-
Is connecting with other nonprofit leaders who could support and guide you of interest to you?
If these questions resonate with you and you desire to excel in your journey, the Nonprofit Leader Peer Group is for you!
We facilitate discussions with other nonprofit leaders to exchange ideas, information, and experiences to grow abilities and competencies so you can be successful in your career or business. We also bring in experts and special guests to lead discussions about Board responsibilities and management, organizational governance, and staff management.
Maybe you started with lofty ideals and a desire to “change the world” and now every day is a drudge.
Or maybe you’ve built your nonprofit from the ground up and had great early success, but now you feel you’ve stagnated – plateaued – and need to find an avenue to kick it up to another level.
You know you have to make a decisions every day. The impact will be huge. But who really understands the stress and sleepless nights you go through either trying to make the decision or afterwards when you need to deal with the fallout?
Or who really understands what it’s like to have a new ‘boss’ every year…or multiple ‘bosses’ telling you what to do?
You need somewhere you can talk about your challenges and doubts and the struggles working for a Board of Directors. A place that’s safe to discuss the serious issues you are facing and find advice for solutions.
That’s where the Nonprofit Leader Peer Group will help.
