Executive Leadership Institute
The Executive Leadership Institute is a year-long learning opportunity that focuses exclusively on community leadership for community foundation CEOs, VPs, and board members. Over the year, ELI cohorts meet three times for two-day small group meetings, including time for structured peer advising.
We created ELI for community foundation leaders in response to growing recognition in the field that the practice of community leadership requires specific skills and strategies.
Apply to join one of our ELI cohorts and experience a peer learning opportunity that your colleagues have called “magical,” “a game changer,” and “unlike anything you can get anywhere else.”

This opportunity is for community foundation VPs who are:

Apply for the ELI for CEOs and Board Pairs 2022 Cohort
Based on our extremely popular ELI for CEOs, the ELI for CEOs and Board Pairs pilot is being offered in response to community leaders’ desire to strengthen their community leadership practice.
ELI for CEOs and Board Pairs is an intensive learning experience for CEOs and one board member (preferably the Board Chair or Chair-Elect) to develop shared language and understanding of the core concepts of community leadership, thereby helping their institutions to step up, be bolder, and lead change – a change that builds strong, resilient communities where all people can thrive.
Our first ELI for CEOs and Board Pairs meeting will take place in person in November 2022. To learn more about this opportunity, please click the program overview below.
