Created to be a world-class learning experience that accommodates the busy schedule of executives, the Nonprofit Executive Program (NPEP) is ideal for CEOs, presidents, executive directors, and nonprofit leaders. You will emerge a stronger leader ready to capitalize on business opportunities, implement best practice management and turn challenges into a strategic advantage.
Thanks to our supporters, this program is offered at no cost to the accepted participants.
Key Program Components
Focused on Business Aspects: Participants will work on the business side of running a nonprofit. This allows them to gain valuable insights into thinking differently and streamlining operations for enhanced efficiency.
Networking Opportunities: Participants will have the chance to network with other local nonprofit leaders. This fosters collaboration and idea exchange, enriching your perspective and expanding your professional network.
Expert Guest Speakers: The curriculum incorporates sessions led by experts in various fields, covering topics such as marketing, human resources, strategic thinking, effective operations, and leadership skills. These sessions serve as the program's foundation, providing actionable insights and strategies directly applicable to your organization.
In-Person Sessions: Sessions will be held in person over four meetings of four-hour sessions. Attendance at all sessions is expected to ensure maximum benefit from the program.
