Pillar launched the ED/CEO Support Network during the onset of COVID in 2020, recognizing that senior executive leaders needed to rely on each other and work together to support the community impact sector through that disruptive time.
Since then, the nonprofit sector has been facing multiple and new challenges and it continues to be essential to lean into the power of our network and lean on each other. EDs and CEOs carry a unique burden and responsibility as leaders of nonprofits and charities, often in isolation. This program is an opportunity to share their best practices, find solutions to common challenges, and collaborate with an ED/CEO exclusive audience. Social and economic recovery is possible if we continue to support each other, tap into our collective knowledge, and explore opportunities for new collaborations.
It provides the most senior staff leaders in nonprofit organizations with opportunities to:
- Help reduce professional isolation by connecting with peers
- Engage in learning from each other and external presenters
- Strengthen our knowledge of existing programs and services
- Discuss advocacy and policy change
- Identify potential opportunities and partners across the whole scope of the sector
Each session will start with a well-being check-in as support to one another. A follow-up list of resources and tools that emerge from each session will be provided to all participants. Please review Pillar’s Learning Community Agreements before each session.
