We offer support in the form of facilitated peer support, training, and coaching for nonprofit executive directors and board members. Our ongoing monthly Leader’s Circle meeting is for executive directors and the Board Leadership Accelerator is designed specifically for board chairs or vice chairs who seek clarity on their role as board leaders.

Leader’s Circle

The Colorado Leader’s Circle is a free monthly gathering designed for nonprofit Executive Directors and CEOs. Established in 2016, this group of 20 dedicated leaders comes together virtually each month to exchange resources, share insights, and provide mutual support in a trusted and collaborative environment.

Leader’s Circle meets the third Tuesday of the month from 11-12 p.m. via Zoom. Click the button below to learn more!

The Board Leadership Accelerator offers a dynamic and supportive forum for current and prospective Board Chairs (and/or Board Presidents) to enhance their leadership capabilities, gain deeper insights into their vital roles as board leaders, and enhance the overall impact of the boards they lead.

This is a limited cohort opportunity from March through May [with optional support sessions in June and July]. Meetings are tentatively scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 12-1 p.m.
