Leadership for Non-Profit Excellence
A Course Designed for Female Leaders
Announcing the Second Cohort of Leadership for Non-Profit Excellence – Starting January 2025!
I am thrilled to announce the launch of the second cohort of Leadership for Non-Profit Excellence, kicking off in January 2025!
Following the resounding success and overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants in our inaugural course earlier this year, I am excited to bring back this transformative experience. The first cohort, which ran from January to March 2024, received glowing reviews, with all participants strongly agreeing that the course provided valuable and fresh perspectives, contributed to their leadership development, and was well-organized and effectively facilitated. See more of what the participants shared here.
With 23 years of experience in the non-profit sector—19 of those in senior leadership—I understand the unique challenges and rewards that come with the territory. Like you, I’ve faced the pressure of limited time and resources, all while striving to make a meaningful impact in our communities.
That’s why I’ve meticulously designed this course for female leaders like you. Leadership for Non-Profit Excellence will provide you with the tools and strategies to elevate your leadership, manage strategic priorities, foster a positive organizational culture, and build a high-performing team.
