FACT SHEET\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u00a0CompassPoint Nonprofit Services<\/u>\u00a0and funded by a grant from the\u00a0Kresge Foundation<\/u>, Emerging Leaders is a leadership training program providing mid-level managers in\u00a0human services<\/a>\u00a0nonprofit 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>\u00a0focuses 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>\u00a0has 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,\u00a0participant in\u00a0Emerging Leaders\u00a0<\/em>2014 and now Executive Director of DiscoveryFEST Enrichment Program. Other cohort members stated that the peer learning groups employed by Emerging Leaders, “provided insightful, helpful information that I could apply to my workplace,” and “It’s a great space to brainstorm solutions to problems using the wisdom and expertise of my group.”<\/p>\n
