What it Really Means to be an Executive Director
Event Information
About this Event
Executive directors are often called upon to do it all — from fundraising and strategy development, to human resources and accounting.
Truly effective leaders are the ones who can facilitate the success of their entire team – including themselves — by transitioning from the role of “chief hero” to “chief host.” This means providing opportunities to share responsibilities, setting clear expectations, and promoting a self-care environment that heads off burn-out.
Join your nonprofit peers for this interactive session designed to help you hone the tools you need to enter your own new era of leadership.
Key Outcomes:
- Delegating with care
