News and Events

Want to consult with fellow heads of nonprofits (executive directors, CEOs, presidents)? Are you feeling isolated at the top? This is an opportunity to hear what other nonprofit leaders think and share ideas and solutions. Join us for Leadership Exchange, a Mission Control virtual salon.

We will host nonprofit leaders from a variety of organizations to facilitate a one-hour, mission-to-mission, peer-to-peer sharing event. The discussion will focus on board development: targeted recruitment, increasing expectations, engaging committee structures, succession planning, etc. Please come with any questions that your peers can help answer. These will be confidential and casual gatherings.

This event is by invitation only and will be limited to 8 nonprofit Executive Directors per breakout group, so please RSVP to reserve your spot in advance.

Currently, many nonprofits are struggling to acquire and retain talent. What is your organization doing to meet these challenges?

Please join us to gain valuable insight from a nonprofit leader on this topic—Dr. Lisa DeRoche, Chief People Officer of Ascend Charter School and Vice Chair of Girls Inc. Long Island’s board.

Lisa’s expertise includes leading and implementing management development and culture programs that are geared towards improving engagement and effectiveness. She has been consistently called upon to lead, facilitate, promote, champion and support organizational change, policy and procedure overhauls, and data driven strategic initiatives that weave in diversity, inclusion and wellness initiatives.

Maybe your nonprofit has decided on what “back to the office” will look like for your organization, but have you given any thought to how your workplace culture will be affected?

The JBS hack, the Colonial Pipeline and SolarWinds hacks, Yahoo and more, these make the news, but smaller data breaches occur daily and are highly destructive and expensive. Nonprofits are far from immune, and their boards and executives have a fiduciary duty to make sure they have appropriate measures in place. Our inaugural Breakfast Briefing features Chris Moschovites, author of Cybersecurity Program Development for Business: The Essential Planning Guide (Wiley, 2018) and Privacy, Regulations, and Cybersecurity: The Essential Planning Guide (Wiley, 2021) and co-founder of TMG-EMEDIA.
