Our annual Securing the Future conference is coming up quickly! I’m really excited about our keynote speaker, Kishshana Palmer. Her talk will address pivotal issues such as generational gaps, wellbeing and burnout, and the criticality of healthy and intentional leadership transitions. Kishshana will begin by sharing her take on the unique challenges that lie ahead for the nonprofit sector, particularly in bridging generational divides within the workforce. She will emphasize the need to understand and leverage the distinct strengths and viewpoints of various generations to foster a more inclusive and effective work environment.

We’ll be sharing details about the accompanying breakout sessions in a few days, but so far we have sessions confirmed on creating intentional career pathways in your organization, and neurodiversity in the workplace. The final session of this year’s conference will be a series of roundtables on a variety of topics so that you can join a group of colleagues for an open conversation.

If you were thinking about joining Leadership Council (or haven’t yet renewed for this year!), this would be a great time so that you get the member rate for the conference. You can join or renew online here.

Here's what a recent BOLD grad had to say: "I really enjoyed the BOLD program and wish I had taken it sooner. The material was very easy to digest and Jay works hard to get the most out of our sessions. I found the speakers to be inspiring."

Don’t forget, as an exclusive benefit for LC members, our BOLD Board Connections Coordinator, Lynn Heinzelman, can help connect you with BOLD grads for board or committee vacancies you need to fill. Share your open board positions here.

We are conducting our biennial nonprofit compensation and benefits study this spring. This resource examines our unique three-state labor market and provides data for dozens of positions across organization sizes. Any nonprofit in the region can complete the survey and receive a free copy of the results in late May.

When it is done, the complete study is available for free if you have submitted a response. Nonprofit organizations in the region were sent an individual link to the survey on Feb. 26. If you have questions about the survey or need your link, please send an email to info@leadershipcouncil.us.

Please save the date on June 5 for the survey release event and presentation.

We're grateful to Von Lehman now Dean Dorton for sponsoring the study again this year!

There is still time to join or renew for 2024. You will gain exclusive access tailored to nonprofits of all sizes, connecting you with vital resources and peer-to-peer interactions to share information and best practices. Best of all, one membership covers everyone in the organization. Learn more and join/renew today!
