The Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute through Cascade Executive Programs and the Nancy Bell Evans Center on Nonprofits & Philanthropy at the University of Washington Evans School of Public Affairs offers nonprofit executives a six-day program to enhance their strategic and visionary thinking.

  • Engaging in an examination of your own leadership skills and effectiveness
  • Gaining a renewed passion for nonprofit work
  • Learning new management techniques through university-quality instruction
  • Developing a network of peers in the Pacific Northwest to support you in the years to come
  • Building visionary leadership to implement strategic planning
  • Using financial management to enhance the decision-making process

Participants who complete the Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute will receive a Certificate of Completion.
