As communities across the country face increasing challenges and competing needs, community foundations are stepping up, leveraging their many assets to work with residents and partners across sectors to tackle tough issues.
The Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) is a year-long learning opportunity that focuses exclusively on community leadership. We offer a number of ELIs each year to a range of community foundation leaders.
A must-attend! No greater learning experience or opportunity exists in the community foundation field.
ELI creates the space for participants to learn from their peers while working towards their own community leadership goals. This program is a great fit for any community foundation leaders who are:
- Looking to step up their game and deepen their foundation’s impact
- Seeking information on the practices that have shown promise elsewhere
- Interested in exchanging ideas with their peers and getting advice from colleagues who understand their challenges
Opportunities to Participate in ELI
