More and more emerging leaders (ages 35 and younger) are moving into leadership roles within nonprofits. With any changes in roles and responsibilities requires a distinctive leadership voice and outstanding management skills. From staff to volunteer to governance roles understanding what makes a great and effective leader is always a critical skill to have. Our discussion will include information about what is outstanding leadership and leaders that:

• “Pursue organizational mission regardless of constantly changing funding;
• Use cross-training and joint efforts with other organizations; 
• Capture what organizations learn and share these lessons about success and setbacks, and;
• Understand that the legacy of their work is about creating a change that lasts beyond their organizational lifetime.”

Join YNPN San Diego and Liz Shear on Thursday, September 17 for a two hour workshop to learn about managing leadership shifts and advancement. Liz Shear, an organizational consultant who specializes in leadership and governance issues, will facilitate an interactive workshop including a guest appearance by one of her clients that will discuss how to navigate leadership change in your workplace and, a World Café discussion on your leadership goals and challenges.
