Join your nonprofit industry peers at The Nonprofit Alliance 2022 Rising Leaders Summit. 

As a rising leader, you divide your time and focus between three levels of impact: ME, yourself as a smart and savvy professional with a track record of success and a list of ambitious goals.  WE, your organization, team, or other growing circle of influence.  And COMMUNITY, the social impact sector as a whole, your professional “why.” Balancing all three requires intentional practice. If you are ready to up your game, you’re in the right place.

Participation is recommended for midlevel managers and future executives who:

• have a solid foundation of tactical skills;
• are increasingly being recognized as subject matter experts;
• lead a team and/or manage one or more direct reports; and
• are motivated to “think big” and develop strategic planning skills.

The TNPA Rising Leaders Summit blends peer conversations and podium speakers.  We use Liberating Structures, facilitation techniques that stimulate critical conversations and elevate the expertise in the room. Attendees will take these facilitation tools and skills back to their own organizations to help ensure all voices are being heard and to spur greater engagement and innovation.
