Take Your Leadership to the Next Level
Director-level leaders sit at the center of execution and culture. The 2026 Action Learning cycle is designed for the nonprofit leaders responsible for people, systems, timelines, and culture — often without much structured space to step back and strengthen how it all fits together.
Participants engage in a structured six-month journey that blends in-person leadership development, guided coaching, and peer learning. Throughout the cycle, leaders apply what they’re learning directly to their teams and systems — refining decision-making, strengthening accountability, and navigating real-time challenges with greater clarity and confidence. The cohort will intentionally integrate reflective practice and sustainable leadership habits to support the long-term resilience of our nonprofit workforce.

We invite our participants to be vocal with us—sharing their needs, experiences, and concerns—so that we can continue learning, adapting, and coordinating the necessary supports to best serve our sector.
