Sharon Lee selected for NeighborWorks
Achieving Excellence Program
LIHI is proud to announce that executive director Sharon Lee was selected for the NeighborWorks Achieving Excellence Program, conducted in collaboration with Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. The NeighborWorks Achieving Excellence Program is an 18-month educational program for senior leaders in organizations working to benefit their communities. It will enable leaders to make lasting change in their communities.
The only comprehensive, intensive training of its kind, Achieving Excellence includes three formal sessions at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, as well as executive coaching, intensive peer learning and guidance from author and consultant Douglas K. Smith. The program starts in October 2014.
"The Achieving Excellence Program equips leaders to increase the community impact of the work they do," explained Chuck Wehrwein, acting president and chief executive officer of NeighborWorks America. "It goes way beyond the typical training course to focus intensively on systemic, long-term change."
Achieving Excellence has graduated almost 300 executive directors, CEOs and other senior leaders since the program began in 2002, with astounding results from each class. Independent evaluations have shown tremendous results for organizations that have participated in this program. |
