November 2022
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Of course, I’m talking about our annual membership drive! One of the best things about this role is meeting our members and finding out what they're proud of, what keeps them up at night, and what they value about their Leadership Council membership. Year over year, more than 80% of you renew your membership, and dozens of new organizations join.

Members have shared how much they value high-quality, affordable leadership development programs, peer networks, and timely training, along with cost savings. Your membership investment is quickly offset by cost savings you can realize. Best of all, your membership covers everyone in your organization!

Here are a few of the resources that you and your peers used this year:
  • Leaders Circles for peer networking and support (a record 160 people this year)
  • Connections to our BOLD grads to help you source board candidates
  • Advancing equity for BIPOC nonprofit leaders through dues support, BOLD scholarships, and a coaching partnership with Flywheel
  • Member listing, sorted by cause, and job board on our website to help donors, jobseekers, and potential partners find you
  • An EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) nonprofit cohort working to adopt and implement the system
In 2023 you can look forward to:
  • Enhanced opportunities to highlight your board needs and connect with our BOLD graduates
  • Leadership Challenge (back in person at Camp Joy)
  • Securing the Future Conference in person on March 1, 2023 (stay tuned for an exciting keynote announcement!)
  • Collaborations with other organizations on programs and employee benefits

Current members will be receiving our renewal letter over the next week, as will some organizations we’ve missed having in the LC family. If you want to expedite joining or renewing, you can do it online today.

Thank you!
Beth Benson
Executive Director
