23 successfully complete program<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

(New Orleans, LA \u2013 January 21, 2016) Twenty-three executive directors in the nonprofit sector recently completed an intensive program designed to give executive directors who have been in the role for three years or less the skills they need to succeed. The program, created by the Greater New Orleans Foundation Organizational Effectiveness initiative and Compass Point, a nationally-recognized leader in skill development for nonprofit leaders, combined expert instruction and peer-learning to tackle some of the toughest issues executive directors face. Funding for the program is provided by The Kresge Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe job of an executive director is challenging, and these executive directors are now better prepared to tackle daily challenges creatively and strategically,\u201d said Joann Ricci, vice president for organizational effectiveness at the Greater New Orleans Foundation. \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of the 23 graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 23 participants, representing a wide variety of nonprofits in size and sector, sharpened their skills in such areas as leadership, financial management, fundraising, and board relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program was highly informative,\u201d said Jody Braunig, Girls on the Run executive director. \u201cI acquired many new leadership and business skills that will help improve the operations of our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe executive director bootcamp was transformative,\u201d said Yanti Turang, LEARNTOLIVE executive director. \u201cIt provided me with time to reflect on the strategic direction of my organization, and I\u2019m now refreshed and excited to begin applying the critical skills I acquired.\u201d<\/p>\n
