LEAD

LEAD: CNS’s Leadership, Education, and Development
program for future and current nonprofit leaders
Are you currently a nonprofit board or staff member?
Are you interested in serving on a nonprofit board but uncertain where to start?

LEAD’s aim is to bring people of all skill levels and experience together for a collaborative program of nonprofit best practices training, and professional development.

Current board and staff will learn practical skills and gain access to tools that will enhance the work of their organization.
Prospective nonprofit leaders will learn the principles of nonprofit service and be connected to opportunities for board membership in their community.
Both groups will benefit from a reciprocal environment of peer support and shared experiences.
We hope you’ll take this opportunity to strengthen personal and professional skills and empower the work of local nonprofit organizations!

LEAD is generously sponsored by funders such as The Ford Family Foundation and The Wildhorse Foundation.

We plan to offer LEAD in more locations as additional funding is secured. If you’re a business or foundation interested in sponsoring a LEAD program in your community, please get in touch today!
