LinkedIn Training for Nonprofit Professionals

Sixteen NPW members from our ELP, Peer to Peer, and LIL groups benefitted from a two-day LinkedIn training for nonprofit professionals made possible through a generous sponsorship from the Westchester Library System. It falls within WLS's mission to build a strong base of future leaders who value the importance of being digitally literate and sharing information. Thank you so much to Terry Kirchner, WLS Executive Director, for providing this valuable opportunity. 

The virtual workshops were led by Dr. Elisse Wright Barnes, JD, Ph.D. - a LinkedIn trainer and workforce educator teaching job seekers, career transitioners, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs to harness the power of LinkedIn. 

Please visit our updated Resources Page on our website which now includes:

• Sister to Sister International's Westchester County Status of Black Women & Girls Report
   
• Westchester County's Asian American Advisory Board's Needs Assessment Study of Asian Americans in Westchester

Calling all early career development professionals! Join Cause Effective for this virtual workshop that offers strategic guidance, training, and tools to be equipped as a fundraiser to navigate the role that racism and classism can play in your work, along with dealing with potential hierarchal structures and biases within non-profit leadership.
