Leading Nonprofit Organizations:
A Learning Experience for Emerging Leaders

October 14, 2009 - March 10, 2010
at the Greater Hartford Campus

This program is a six month, peer-to-peer, practitioner-based classroom learning experience focused on the internal management practices of Jim Collins’ Good to Great and the Social Sectors and the external outreach practices of Forces for Good by Leslie Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant, and other essential Nonprofit works.

It is enhanced by web-based reflection dialogue and is structured to prepare emerging leaders who are ready to take on higher levels of managerial and leadership responsibilities, and to be catalysts for change within their organizations and the Nonprofit sector. A typical leader/ participant may already be a program manager or in an assistant director position, either part-time or full-time.

You and your peers will meet once every other week, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, in the executive conference room of the UConn Greater Hartford Campus for peer discussion and skill building. [See Program Schedule] Class meetings are augmented by a private web-based class learning web-portal.  Participants will reflect on Nonprofit practice questions through threaded discussions; download class specific readings, and will be web-linked to additional resources that will improve their job performance.
