Emerging Leaders Series 

Do you aspire to sit at the leadership table? Are you a leader that is committed to nurturing your staff and building a succession pipeline? If so, the Emerging Leaders Series is for you. We launch this series with a diverse panel of executive directors that will share their insights, experiences and recommendations. Honest, frank dialogue will propel emerging leaders on the path forward by illuminating realistic expectations and the skills that lie at the heart of effective nonprofit leadership. We will build on this discussion in 2026 with expert-led programs on essential technical and power skills such as governance, corporate financial literacy, organizational culture, and navigating challenging conversations. Lunch is provided.
