The Succession Leaders peer group, in partnership with Deep Roots Collective, is specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced by leaders stepping into roles previously held by a founder or long-term leader of a nonprofit organization.
This group offers a supportive environment to share successes and challenges, provide peer encouragement, grow as leaders, and explore how to build on the foundation laid by predecessors while honoring and continuing their legacy.

The purpose of the Bonfire Group is to help each other solve some of our most challenging problems as non-profit leaders.
We will submit our problems on a one-pager to the group and then work through a rubric to bring collective wisdom to it. Each participant will get one or two problems to bring to bear, but will learn greatly from the brain trust as it works on the problems of others. This group will be 100% confidential.

This is for Executive Directors new to leading an organization and will support the development of leadership, managerial, and operational skills related to helping them be successful in their current role.
Specific topics will be chosen by the cohort based on interest, with examples being leadership of an organization (goals, financials), team (hiring/firing, performance), and non-profit (board, fundraising).
