Full Event Calendar

Is it Fall yet? The calendar says yes, but the thermometer says not so fast. But as we move into my favorite season, we are starting to harvest some of the fruits of our effort to bring more resources to Leadership Council – to you!

• Our partnership with Midwest Coaches Conference resulted in 29 coaching matches for staff of 21 LC member nonprofits. These matches include six free coaching sessions from dedicated volunteers certified by the International Coaching Federation.
• We were also thrilled to hear that we have been awarded grants from the Harold C. Schott Foundation, First Financial Foundation, and PNC Charitable Trusts. We’re very grateful to these foundations for supporting the programming we bring to you.
• Leadership Council is honored to have Clark Schaefer Hackett join us as an annual Leader Level sponsor!
