Executive Director [SUMMER] School!

It’s time for the next cohort of Executive Director School—Summer School Style!

Executive Director School!

Read on to learn more this cohort training for new and incoming executive directors.

Audience:

The audience for Executive Director School is new or incoming executive directors for small to mid-sized nonprofits in Minnesota. Executive Director School may also be useful to interim executive directors or to nonprofit leaders who are considering becoming an executive director. The goal is for each cohort to be small enough for interaction and discussion between participants and large enough for an opportunity to learn and grow with each other.

Timelime:

This cohort of Executive Director School begins on Friday, June 23 and concludes on Friday, July 28 with an optional individualized session during the week of July 31. The exact times for each session will be determined by the cohort, but will likely take place from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. each week.

Modules:

There are five modules in Executive Director School, with an option to add on on individual session:

  • Leadership Approach and Style

  • Board of Directors Partnership and Liaison

  • Workplace Culture, Staff Development and Management

  • Budget, Finance, and Fundraising

  • Operations and All Other Things ED!

  • Optional Individual Session

Course Mode, Methods and Delivery:

Executive Director School is held via Zoom. There may be in-person opportunities for the cohort and for an individual session with Amy.

The course includes modules prepared and presented by Amy, interactive opportunities with participants, and may feature guest “experts.”

Participants in an Executive Director School cohort will learn from Amy, our guest “experts” and from each other. We will develop relationships along the way. Adjustments may be made based on the cohort.

Executive Director School is participatory. It’s not asychronous, nor is it didactic.

Workbook:

Each module will include a basic set of online materials with prepared content and options to tailor a plan for your own role and organization.

Cost:

The cost of Executive Director School is $1,000 for five weekly modules of 2 hours each. There is an option to add an additional individualized session for $250.
