How Does It Work?
The Nonprofit
Leadership Roundtable meets once a month for a term of eight months. Each
meeting starts at 8:30 AM and lasts two hours to give you a chance to put in a
full day at work afterwards. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, since all of
the members are your peers. ESC hosts the meeting, but the members set the
agenda for the term and the day. Two ESC consultants facilitate and keep the
conversations focused. ESC also finds experts to speak on subjects selected by
the members.
As a member of
the group, you have a chance to describe your organization, plans, and any
particular challenges or questions you have. Group members offer their own
experiences and suggestions. At subsequent meetings, you can report on what you
tried and how it worked. This accountability to the group helps you stay focused
and take action on the problems you most need to address.
Each member
will also receive two free leadership coaching sessions from an ESC coach.
Who Belongs to the Nonprofit Leadership
Roundtable?
Membership in
the Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable is limited to twelve. It is restricted to
Executive Directors or Presidents of nonprofit organizations in the Chicago
area. More than five dozen Chicago area nonprofit leaders have attended the
seven Nonprofit Leadership Roundtables since their inception.
What Do Participants Say?
“The Roundtable is a winning combination of pertinent topics,
stimulating speakers and an opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow executive
directors.”
“An invaluable opportunity to remind yourself that nonprofit
leaders are grappling with the same issues – and a unique place to learn from
each other or jointly problem solve. One-of-a-kind and indispensable.”
What does it cost?
The registration fee for an eight-month term
is $350.
When is the next Roundtable starting?
The next series begins Thursday, October 9, 2008 and
continues through May 14, 2009
(second Thursday of the month).
