As an experienced community development professional, you are an integral part of a mature and dynamic industry. Together, we have learned a great deal about the critical issues facing low-income communities and the strategies that work to raise families and communities out of poverty. Our job now is to effectively share these strategies and to grow our leadership, our organizations, and our industry in a way that is entrepreneurial, sustainable and patently valuable.
Experienced leaders like you want and need more highly developed and revitalizing education directly relevant to the community development field.But most leadership programs are generic.And with your already heavy workload, any advanced education for executive directors must address your real work, not add to it.
