Nonproft Executive Leadership Institute: New Dates! March 21-26, 2010
“The Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute [NELI] was a watershed moment in my career development; during the week I could feel my potential unlocking. Every day of NELI held a revelation, and multiple times each day I was inspired and humbled by the insights provided by the instructors my fellow attendees. Since attending, I have used what I have learned from my experience at NELI more times than I can count, and have leaned on my classmates as daily inspirations for how I can make the world better.”
- Jake Beattie, Executive Director, Bike Works
