From the "Leadership and Emerging Issues" Track

This session explores the transition into an executive role, covering what to expect and the key lessons learned along the way. It outlines practical steps to progress into an executive position in the NFP sector, with a strong focus on leading effectively through the first 100 days. The session examines the reality of operating across three teams—your own team, the executive, and the board—and how to balance competing priorities under pressure. It also addresses the importance of relationships, support networks, and creating a shared language that enables teams to make clear requests and perform at their best. Finally, it provides practical guidance on building a strong culture and effectively managing up so boards are engaged and actively fundraising.
