Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Greater New Orleans Foundation believes that effective nonprofit organizations maximize the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and talents of their staff. Designed in partnership with CompassPoint Nonprofit Services<\/a> and funded by a grant from the Kresge Foundation<\/a>, Emerging Leaders is a leadership training program providing mid-level managers in human services<\/a> nonprofit organizations with the management and financial skills they need to move to the next level of leadership.<\/p>\n

A nationally recognized leader in guiding nonprofits to become better managed, more adaptive, and achieve higher impact, CompassPoint has had great success in the delivery of its cohort leadership programs, unique in that they each combine transformative leadership development with essential management skills-building. With support from the Kresge Foundation, we hope to foster next-generation leadership in the human service sector and prepare them to be strong leaders.<\/p>\n

Emerging Leaders<\/em> focuses on two of the critical content areas that pose significant challenges for many community-based organizations and leaders. The first challenge is to supervise, develop, inspire, and influence people. The second challenge is to develop business acumen with an emphasis on financial strategy, comprehension, and literacy.<\/p>\n

Using a multicultural framework rooted in racial and social justice that examines cultural dimensions in managing people and organizational finances, this initiative focuses on\u00a0these two areas: deepening the management and leadership capabilities of individual participants and increasing the overall health and sustainability of their current and future organizations of employment.<\/p>\n

Emerging Leaders<\/em> has graduated over thirty five professionals\u00a0working in the human services sector. \u201cEmerging Leaders allows you to discuss and connect with other professionals in similar fields and organizations,\u201d said Sean Tate,\u00a0REACH Program Coordinator, Samuel J. Green Charter School and participant in Emerging Leaders\u00a0<\/i>2014.
