Introducing Executive Director University - Professional development for the unique learning needs of nonprofit executive directors
As an executive director, do you ever ask: "Who is supporting me? Who is coaching me? Who is preparing me for the endless array of continuing demands and new challenges? How do I continue to evolve as a leader while I'm immersed in 'doing the work?'"
The Nonprofit Center will launch Executive Director University, an ongoing series of professional development sessions on the issues and subjects that nonprofit staff leaders have identified as priorities. You may take as few or as many of the workshops as you like.
At The Nonprofit Center, we work with nonprofit leaders every day and at every stage of experience. This gives us a unique perspective on needs and interests and is the impetus behind the creation of a new series of professional development sessions on the issues that nonprofit EDs have identified as priorities - Executive Director University.
The curriculum includes both personal development programs such as stress management, the art of self-assessment, and individual financial planning and top-level professional advancement, including assessing your business model, maximizing the board-executive director relationship, and the ED's role as a marketer and fundraiser.
