On June 28th, the inaugural class of Southside nonprofit executive leaders successfully completed a six month leadership and skills development series. The program was created by Southside Community Partners 

and Dr. Najmah Thomas, who facilitated the series. The program works to strengthen nonprofit leadership by bringing together a small group of nonprofit executives for peer group sessions that foster discussion on issues affecting leadership of their organizations. "I immediately saw effective results from the session," stated one executive. Nonprofits serve a vital role in the development of strong communities and so too do the leaders of the sector. Southside Community Partners Executive Leadership series will be offered January - June 2014. Contact WAustin@scpartners for more information.
