Leadership PLUS

This program for Executives offers 12 leaders who are relatively *new to the ED/CEO/CAO role, the opportunity to develop leadership knowledge and skills. Continue to watch this webpage for timing of information session(s).

*“New” can mean first time in the top role; a former middle or senior manager transitioning in from the private or public sector; moving up from a smaller charity to a larger organization or perhaps a long-tenured executive director who has never benefited from a leadership development program.
