Support Leadership Council

Executive Director's Message

At Leadership Council, membership means more than just joining an organization — it means becoming part of a connected, supportive network working together to strengthen our sector.


One opportunity to experience that network in action is coming up soon: our Annual Member Meeting on June 26 at the amazing Queen City Book Bank. We’ll elect five new board members, hear updates on what’s ahead, and, of course, make time for meaningful networking. If you’re a current nonprofit member and haven’t registered already, we hope you’ll join us! We’re grateful to Camargo Insurance for sponsoring this year’s meeting.


Another valued member benefit we’re excited to highlight: Leaders Circles. These confidential peer groups are designed for nonprofit leaders who want a trusted space to share challenges, ideas, and encouragement throughout the year. It’s consistently our most popular members-only program, and registration is open now through July 31.


Not a member yet? You can join anytime during the year — we’d love to welcome you whenever you’re ready.


And if you’re a business or consultant feeling left out, don’t worry — we have partnership opportunities that let you connect meaningfully with our network and show your support for the nonprofit community.


Thanks for being part of this work. Your leadership, your energy, and your participation matter more than ever.


With gratitude,

Beth Benson

Executive Director
