Pillar began the ED/CEO Support Network during the peak of COVID in 2020, recognizing that during that transformational time senior executive leaders needed to rely on each other and work together to support the community impact sector.
It continues to be essential to lean on the power of our network to help each other during COVID recovery and come out the other end stronger. EDs and CEOs carry a unique burden and responsibility as leaders of nonprofits and charities. This program is an opportunity to share their best practices, find solutions to common challenges and collaborate with an ED/CEO exclusive audience. Social recovery is possible if we continue to support each other, tap into our collective knowledge and explore opportunities for new collaborations.
What is it?
The ED/CEO Support Network is a monthly facilitated event to check in across the sector, debrief, share learning, and support each other.
It provides the most senior staff leader in nonprofit organizations with opportunities to:
- Help reduce professional isolation by connecting with peers
- Engage in learning from each other and external presenters
- Strengthen our knowledge of existing programs and services
- Discuss advocacy and policy change
- Identify potential opportunities and partners across the whole scope of the sector
Each session will start with a well-being check-in as support to one another. A follow-up list of resources and tools that emerge from each session will be provided to all participants. Please note Pillar’s Learning Community Agreements to help create an open and safe space.
