Nonprofit Leaders Graduate From GNOF's Emerging Leaders Program

NEW ORLEANS – The Greater New Orleans Foundation announced the 18 nonprofit leaders who successfully completed the Emerging Leaders Program on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, which combines leadership development with essential management skills-building.

         During the intensive, four-day program, the participants were taught important managerial skills such as how to supervise, inspire and influence. They also sharpened their business skills with an emphasis on financial strategies.

         “This program allows us to invest in tomorrow’s nonprofit leaders,” said Joann Ricci, vice president of organizational effectiveness at the Greater New Orleans Foundation, who designed the program in partnership with CompassPoint Nonprofit Services, a San Francisco-based company with a national reputation in guiding nonprofits to be better managed and more adaptive in order to achieve higher impact. “Now in our second year, we’re producing more and more leaders in the nonprofit sector who are equipped to lead and make smart decisions. This will have a profound effect on the organizations where they work and make an impact on our community,” said Ricci. Additional funding was provided by the Kresge Foundation.
