LOCAL LEADERS EMBRACE GROWTH AND CHANGE

The Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNE) brings together passionate professionals focused on organizational mission success and their own growth and development. Nonprofit employers faced challenges in 2022 including the “Great Resignation,” staff turnover and fatigue and changes in the funding landscape.

CNE was there to offer impactful workshops on key topics, consulting and coaching resources, and peer gatherings. CNE programs helped nonprofits address fair compensation strategies, discover ways to stand out when recruiting new talent and invest in new leadership growth.

Over half of respondents to our Nonprofit Survey were experiencing or anticipating an executive transition, prompting CNE to create the Guide to Leadership Transitions. CNE’s Executive Director Breakfast Roundtable provided new and veteran leaders with a dynamic peer support network to celebrate and problem solve. At the conclusion of the five-part series, 100% of participants felt confident and supported to stay in their role for another year.

“Thank you so much for putting together the ED Breakfast Roundtables and for investing in us all as leaders,” said Heidi Boynton, Executive Director, Jacob’s Heart Children’s Cancer Support Services.

Our investment in rising nonprofit leaders continued as the LEAD Institute resumed in 2022. LEAD offered a vital space for leaders hungry for the rigor and immersion of in-person learning after the isolation and disruptions of the pandemic. The cohort bonded through interactive learning and conversations about leadership values and how to build a thriving, inclusive team.

The CNE will continue to be a responsive partner during these times of ongoing change and possibility.
