Executive Director As... Non-Profit Workshop
Understand the seven key elements of successful Executive Directors in the modern era and you will learn all you need to know to excel.
This seminar will focus on the seven key areas that will provide the Executive Director with a new view of the work they are entrusted to deliver. The "Executive Director As..." workshop will demonstrate how the role and responsibilities of the Executive Director are very similar to that of a Vice President of Marketing and Sales in the for-profit business segment.
The non-profit segment across the United States is under a great deal of pressure. Traditional forms of funding from Foundations and the Federal Government have been dwindling year to year. On the other side, the number of constituents or clients for most non-profits has been increasing.
At the fulcrum of the balancing act between acquiring the financial resource to provide quality services and allocating them to those most in need stands the Executive Director.
The Executive Director is the person responsible for short-, medium- and long-term revenue generation for the non-profit organization. Short-term revenue generation usually comes in the form of golf tournaments or tribute dinners. Medium-term generation activity surrounds the grant writing processes. Finally, long-term revenue generation is sourced through gifts in one form or another that usually ends in the non-profit's foundation.
We bring to the "people sector" consulting, facilitation, training and research geared for the unique cultures of this sector with the rigor associated with the "for profit sector" offerings.
As indication of our support, in 2003 our principal, Cornell Wright was recognized for his contributions to the "people sector" be being recognized as the Volunteer of the Year by the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce.
