Members of NPW's Leaders Inspiring Leaders met on Dec. 1 with NPW Consultant Cora Greenberg for another robust conversation. This discussion group is for first-time Executive Directors and CEOs who have been in their positions for less than 3 years. The group meets via Zoom for an hour each month, offering peer-support through conversations about the common challenges and joys of nonprofit leadership.

There is no cost to participate in Leaders Inspiring Leaders and no obligation to attend every session, although those who participate regularly reap the benefit of building genuine and fruitful relationships with each other. If you have not participated in the past and would like to join the group, please email Cora Greenberg at cgreenberg@npwestchester.org. The next session will be held on Jan. 26, 2023.
