SUPPORTING LEADERSHIP IN A CHANGING NONPROFIT ENVIRONMENT

The non-profit environment in Canada is changing. Now, more than ever, the strong leadership within our sector is crucial. Skilled senior staff and governance volunteers are leading the way in a sector and environment that are both continually evolving.
Connect - Energize - Learn - Adapt - Lead is an opportunity for senior staff and governance volunteers from different nonprofit organizations to come together to receive education, re-energize and focus on leadership in a changing environment. The sessions were developed as a result of feedback from local community organizations; whether you are a board officer, member-at-large, or a senior staff member, there is a learning opportunity that will speak to you. Sessions will feature insightful presentations on a spectrum of “must-know” topics, all with a core focus on leadership. We invite you to connect, energize, learn, adapt and lead together.

CONNECT and ENERGIZE with other nonprofit senior staff and governance volunteers, and together LEARN, ADAPT and LEAD your organization in this changing environment.

The “Connect-Energize-Learn-Adapt-Lead” events have been spread out over the following days:

Thursday, October 20: Kick-Off Reception, Keynote and Speed Consulting Session
Friday, October 21: Workshop for Senior Staff Members
Saturday, October 22: Workshops for Governance Volunteers plus Senior Staff Members
