The Leadership Institute is informed by research that demonstrates the importance of investing in leadership development in order to produce tangible benefits—from lower operating costs to greater stability and increased mission impact for the organization or agency.
This 9-month program aims to provide nonprofit and government leaders with the strong foundation of leadership skills that is essential to enhancing their development and advancing the mission of their organizations or agencies. It is an opportunity to expand our collective resources across Alamance County by deepening relationships within our partnership network.
