Road to Nonprofit Manager 2024

Develop the skills you'll need to become an effective nonprofit manager.

Ready to level up in your nonprofit career? Join us for an interactive workshop designed to equip you with the essential skills needed to excel as a nonprofit manager.

Transitioning from an individual contributor to a team leader requires more than just a change in title—it demands a shift in mindset. In this engaging session, you'll not only learn about the skills and competencies crucial for effective management but also have the opportunity to assess your current abilities and chart a course for growth.

Drawing from real-world insights gleaned from our job board data, you'll gain valuable perspectives from human resource managers on what they seek in hiring and promoting supervisors. Plus, dive deep into the experiences of current nonprofit managers through a candid panel discussion, where you'll uncover their challenges, triumphs, and invaluable advice for emerging leaders like yourself.

During this hands-on workshop, you will:

• Learn about the skills and competencies most required of nonprofit managers.
• Reflect on current skills and develop a road map for how you can continue to grow and progress.
• Hear directly from HR managers about what they look for when hiring and promoting supervisors. 
• Engage with a panel of current managers for a candid conversation on what they wish they knew before jumping into the position, what skills have helped them the most, and what advice they would share with emerging leaders.

Whether you're eager to advance within the nonprofit sector or contemplating a transition from for-profit to nonprofit work, this workshop is your gateway to honing your supervisory prowess before taking the plunge. Don't miss this chance to sharpen your skills, connect with industry experts, and propel your career forward. This session is tailor-made for current and aspiring nonprofit professionals ready to seize the reins of leadership and make a lasting impact.
