Being the Best Board Member Ever may not win you a trophy, but it will definitely make the work you do for nonprofits more satisfying! You spend a lot of time on board service - make sure it counts! Through this board leadership training, we will help equip current and future board members with the skills needed to help nonprofit organizations succeed. A well-trained and effective board of directors is essential to a nonprofit's success. CNPE has offered board leadership training for almost 20 years. (Lunch will be provided. and a networking "happy hour" with local nonprofits will follow after the program.) Learn more and register: https://engage.cnpe.org/component/events/event/427

Strategy is not static, it’s dynamic and it’s key to realizing your organization’s success. With ever-changing environments, your team needs tools they can use to build and adjust strategic plans.

But strategic planning can be expensive and is out of reach for many nonprofits. This is why we’ve created a new one-day intensive workshop that teaches any nonprofit leader the same tools that strategy consultants use to create great plans, but at a fraction of the cost.

This intensive workshop is led by CNPE CEO Das Rooprai and CNPE VP of Strategy Ed Cortas. Learn more and register here: https://bit.ly/3Pwv4GE

Merv Antonio, CNPE's Senior Director of Learning and Convening, is quoted in a recent article in The Chronicle of Philanthropy about how nonprofit professionals can better meet their career goals. Merv shares some of the perspectives gleaned from CNPE's annual Emerging Leaders program - 2025 details coming soon! - and notes that leadership is not about a specific title, but about concrete decisions and actions you take every day. And make sure you're making the most of one-to-one meetings with your supervisor!
