Nonprofit Leadership Academy
Our Nonprofit Leadership Academy (NLA) helps nonprofit executive directors and those who aspire to an executive position develop best practices for strategic thinking, organizing, and dealing with change. This course is offered biannually.
NLA fosters supportive relationships among new and experienced executive directors while encouraging self-development and professional growth. Past participants have found tremendous value in getting to know their cohorts and discussing each other’s challenges and successes within their respective organizations.
Please note that the format for retreat, classes, and graduation may be impacted due to COVID 19 recommendations and restrictions. Leadership York will adhere to CDC and government recommendations to ensure safe programming. As such, dates and class sizes may be adjusted based on recommendations from health experts. Some courses and events typically conducted in-person may move to virtual formats in order to follow social distancing recommendations.
“Leadership York’s Nonprofit Leadership Academy provided me with an insight into my own leadership behaviors, good and bad. The benefit of having the opportunity to sit and learn from experts in York County’s non-profit world was invaluable as I continue to navigate leadership within our organization and the community. I’d recommend this program to anyone that is looking to strengthen their leadership competencies and expand their network in York County.”
