Today's complex social problems require leaders who are creative, bold and prepared to lead change. Leadership Development Roundtable (LDR) is a catalyst for focused leadership development and helps participants establish a path for continuous learning. These high impact future leaders will provide strategic and visionary leadership, increasing the capacity of their organizations to deliver meaningful programming and to build change.
"Helping prepare the next generation of nonprofit leadership is all part of creating healthy nonprofits and insuring their success which in turn creates healthy communities in Connecticut. Where would we be if this was not part and parcel of our mission and responsibility to Connecticut's nonprofits? CT Nonprofits is proud to be able to co-sponsor this high quality experience for aspiring leaders in our state's nonprofit sector."
- Ron Cretaro, Executive Director, CT Association of Nonprofits
"The LDR Program has broadened my view of not just my job but the entire idea of leadership and the non-profit sector. I think bigger and have worked on visioning. One of the topics that we have focused on that I have been trying to apply to everyday is partnerships and collaborations. This has helped me find ways to make more of an impact."
- LDR Participant
LDR is developing a cohort of non-profit leaders who are strategic thinkers and 'doers'. These leaders understand the vital role non-profits assume as partners with government and for-profit institutions in maintaining a civil society. This is especially important in this time of economic uncertainty which creates pressure on community organizations.
LDR is a unique training program designed to increase the leadership skills of those working in the nonprofit sector. The mission is two-fold:
- To provide leadership training through a structured curriculum that equips rising leaders with the necessary skills to be more successful as senior executives in the nonprofit sector and to increase the impact of their leadership.
- To increase the number of rising leaders in Connecticut who are prepared to fill senior management positions in the nonprofit sector, such as affordable housing and community development.
The next generation of leaders is ready to learn how to lead. It’s up to all of us to nurture their development in order to achieve sustainable social impact.
