All times listed are EST
Focused on the challenges related to development of emerging leaders in the nonprofit sector, this panel of researchers/academics/practitioners will reflect on their and others’ research described in a report written by the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) in partnership with the Leadership Academy of American Express. Combining the voices of Millenials, Generation X’ers, and Boomers through narrative research with the data from the World Leadership Survey (administered to nonprofit leaders and combined with data already gathered from for-profit leaders) the group will discuss the trends affecting the growth and development of leaders in nonprofits and recommendations for navigating organizational and sector realities.
