| BOARD AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE |
The Learning Community Resource Center
Board and Executive Leadership Institute
June 23-24, 2015; Westin Peachtree Hotel; Downtown Atlanta, Georgia
Deadline for Registering is May 22, 2015!
The Executive Director/Board relationship is critical to the success of Community Action Agencies. Sharing leadership between the Chief Executive Director and the volunteer board can be a delicate but a vitally important balance. Pairs of Community Action Executive Directors/CEOs and a senior board member are invited to attend the Board and Executive Leadership Institute focused on strengthening the leadership of your Community Action Agency.
This 1 ½ day Institute will blend a mix of training and peer to peer learning to share innovative practices and bring home ideas on good governance and leadership. The Institute will provide an opportunity for experienced leaders to hear how other leaders are transforming their agencies, share what they know about board development and discuss innovative recommendations for developing your board of the future.
The Learning Community Resource Center has designed a powerful 1 ½ day meeting that includes a mix of peer presentations (case studies), problem solving in break-out groups, and round table discussions with charted "takeaways". The Institute will serve as a "think tank" where leaders can stimulate ideas and concepts needed to propel their organization and the Network at large towards excellence. See the planned agenda below.
Who Should Attend
As a peer learner event, we are looking for attendees who want to learn, share lessons from their experiences, and offer recommendations for the broader Community Action Network on developing the board of the future. The discussion will be participant driven so attendees should come ready to talk about one or more of the topics on the agenda and exchange best practices and strengthen the group's collective knowledge on board leadership and governance. As noted above, applicants from each agency should be a pair made up of Executive Director/CEO and a senior board member.
The first five pairs to register will have lodging expenses paid by the Partnership!
Date/Location:
The meeting will be held Tuesday-Wednesday, June 23-24, 2015 at the Westin Peachtree Hotel near downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
Cost:
There is no registration fee to attend this event. Participants will be responsible for their travel, food, and lodging costs. A special rate of $135.00 per night plus 16% state tax will be given to those who attend the Institute. Attendance is limited to 15 pairs of participants and will be selected on a first come basis to ensure the depth and quality of discussion.
Other Benefits:
- Board members who attend the Institute will receive 50% off registration at the Partnership's 2015 Annual Conference being held in San Francisco, CA;
- Recognition at the Partnership's 2015 Annual Conference;
