Attention nonprofit executive directors!

Could you benefit from the wisdom and experience of other leaders of local nonprofit organizations? 

The Leadership Network brings together senior leaders from diverse nonprofit organizations for a monthly program that combines real-world experiences with a problem-solving methodology.  In a confidential environment, leaders share their challenges, receive feedback and ideas and build confidence to implement solutions.  The result is a powerful and unique peer learning experience.

Apply now through Aug. 20.   

The Leadership Louisville Center and the Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNPE) are partners in this initiative, which is supported by:

Could your organization benefit from the expertise of Louisville's brightest?

Each year, the city's leading young professionals work to make their marks on Louisville area nonprofits by participating in the "Make Your Mark Challenge", founded by Maker's Mark Distillery, Inc. 

Seven groups of emerging leaders will partner with nonprofits this fall to create and implement solutions for area agencies. To spark this six-month challenge, we are inviting nonprofit organizations to submit their leadership needs for possible projects ideas.

Are you up for the challenge?

For more information or to access the Make Your Mark Challenge request form, contact Caroline McCoy. All projects must meet established criteria to be eligible for consideration.

Deadline for proposals extended to July 10, 2008.
