Are you a nonprofit executive director looking for affordable help and support in meeting your personal and professional leadership challenges?

This peer learning network only for nonprofit executives can help!

Here's what some recent participant had to say:

"This experience allowed me to put together the professional and the personal—somehow made it 'human.' I am able to be more flexible with myself. It was very helpful to be with others who are going through (or have gone through) the same thing. I am not the only one."

"I like that the group has a mixture of fields of service. It has added a richness. It breaks down barriers of competition."

Each month between February and December (excluding July) you'll join your peers for these two-hour session co-facilitated by Mary Hiland and Bob Kardon.YOU WILL GET:

• An opportunity to build supportive relationships with your peers.
• Real-life tips for tackling your work-day challenges.
• Help in being an effective leader.
• Support for making positive change within your organizations.
• Your own private one-hour individualized coaching or consulting with either Bob or Mary. 

• You must make a year-long commitment to schedule for and attend each session and fully participate in each (any unavoidable scheduling conflicts will be addressed in the first session).
• Your agreement to honor absolute confidentiality regarding any and all information shared in the sessions. 

After learning about the works by Alexander Calder, Karel Apel and Joseph Cornell, students will be guided to create wire art, fabric collage tapestries, and mixed media assemblage.
