Today’s non-profits face significant leadership challenges. Changes in workplace configurations, accelerated retirements of senior professionals, and enhanced financial pressures require organizations to be agile and innovative. In addition, shifting patterns of donor behavior, acute shortages of qualified staff, and rapidly evolving technology are among the many factors that compound the dynamic fundraising landscape of today. Organizations that can navigate this complicated environment will be the most likely to succeed in executing their mission. And essential to this success is strong and visionary leadership, not only at the helm, but throughout the ranks.
Where then does leadership come from? It starts with the advancement professional who knows not only the fundamentals of fundraising, but also has an acute appreciation for the overall performance and business strategy of the organization. This course has been designed to guide individuals who aspire to positions of leadership within their non-profit or in other organizations in the sector. Learners will take away insight about projecting an executive presence, navigating organizational structures, building trust and confidence, expanding critical networks, and becoming a strategic thinker and planner.
