February 3 & 4, 2017 - Philanthropic Leadership Program - Unlocking your leadership potential in just 2 days!
This unique leadership program is designed for (and with) professionals working in the charitable and non-profit sector that are motivated to become leaders who truly inspire their teams, boards and donors to excel. Our sector is desperate for high quality managers and leaders who can help the entire organization work collectively to achieve the results their mission is calling on them to create. This unique 2-day program will help you develop specific skills and techniques, along with personal confidence in your own unique leadership style.
Leadership is a complex journey that requires incredible self-awareness along with a savvy set of skills in the area of strategic thinking and planning, managing relationships, achieving goals, and motivating our teams. These skills take time to develop and there is no perfect formula that you can use each and every time. This special program format will include a two-day deep dive intensive to explore your strengths, develop leadership competencies and discuss "real world" situations that bring leadership to life, followed by personal coaching and group check-ins that create continuous learning, growth and accountability beyond the two-day intensive.

AFP Coffee Click - Wednesday February 1 at 8 am at the Hillside Food Court
Diversity is a term that is used often in our culture to mean a diverse amount of things. What does it mean to you? The AFP - VI are debating this issue as well and would be interested to hear what you think it means, in relation to your work as a fundraiser. A definition currently being proposed is: That the AFP - VI board of directors move to adopt a new definition of diversity to include increasing membership from, and service to, multi-cultural, immigrant and refugee societies, First Nations, LGBT associations and other, smaller primarily volunteer run service providers in the non-profit sector. Come join the conversation!
