“Supervisors of Organizers” Workshop
Why is it that some organizers seem to catch on naturally while others don’t? Is it genetic or somewhere along the line was there a difference in the supervision they received? This workshop gives supervisors a chance to step back from the missing time sheets and meetings on the run in order to discuss supervision as the major and most consistent form of training that their organizers receive.

Most Executive Directors wear multiple hats in an organization, and end up doing far more than their job description calls for. To avoid burnout and keep the organization on track, an Executive Director needs to delegate responsibilities effectively, and invest staff, volunteers and stakeholders with a sense of ownership in the organization’s success.
This session will explore the following topics:
- The role of the Executive Director as visionary, mentor and confidante
- Founder’s syndrome and how to combat it
- Building a leadership pyramid from within to include staff and volunteers
- Knowing when it is time for an Executive Director to move on
- Getting board members to rise to the challenge of succession planning
This session will identify the strategies and best practices used by successful Executive Directors so that you can determine whether you are running your organization at its full potential.
This session is intended for Executive Directors, Board Members and Senior Staff.
