JOIN TNPA

September 22, 2022  |  New York City

Location: Club 101, 101 Park Avenue, New York, NY

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.

Schedule

8:30am     Registration & Networking Breakfast

9:00am     Morning Program |  What are the biggest challenges in your role today? What if you could flip those, turning barriers into opportunities — for you, your team, and the greater good? We will leverage the experience in the room to set the focus for the day and ensure you leave with new ideas and strategies for immediate implementation.

10:30am     The 5 Elements of Promotability (and How to Perfect Them) with Executive Coach Amii Barnard-Bahn |  Where do you stack up with the leadership elements that get you promoted? Discover how you are currently perceived from a promotability lens, assess your unique strengths and opportunities, and create an action plan with concrete next steps to advance your career.

Networking Lunch

1:00pm     Personal Branding | When a professional connection hears your name, what do you want them to think of first? Building on our morning workshop, you will assess the characteristics that are most important to your personal brand.

1:30–2:30pm     The Wisdom Panel |  Hear from accomplished leaders in the nonprofit sector to learn about their paths, explore their current projects and challenges, and ask for advice:

– Chantal Bonitto, Inclusive Philanthropy Strategist, DEI Advisor, and Executive Director for the Northeast region for resource development at CARE USA.

– Andrew Giffen, Fundraising Strategist and Vice President at CELCO

– Gretchen Littlefield, CEO at Moore

– Geof Rochester, Founder, GRC Advising

– Lance Slaughter, SVP, Governance and Volunteer Engagement at The ALS Association

2:45pm   Break

3:00pm    Peer Consulting |  One of the favorite activities of many TNPA conferences, this workshop allows you to bring a specific work or leadership challenge you are facing to a small group of peers to learn from each other and create possible paths forward.

4:10pm   Bringing it all together | It is time to identify which parts of the day are most important to you. Which will you take back and use as part of your new vision for your leadership future?

5:00pm     Wrap Up
