"The session regarding leadership was the greatest for me. It really pushed me to embrace the passion and commitment I have to improve conditions for children and families. No longer do I see that as something I need to hide to be successful in my position." Read More.

It also made it abundantly clear that diversity is what’s most important in leading others in authenticity, compassion and a never-ending passion to accomplish your specific organization's goal, no matter what obstacles my appear in your path."

The numerous opportunities to network and share ideas with other leaders from accomplished and successful non-profit organizations were the highlights of my HPDL experience. The skills that I acquired as a result of my participation in the many capacity building exercises have helped me to grow, specifically in the areas of financial planning and analysis." Read More.

"I attended the 2010 High Potential Diverse Leaders program because I felt it would be a great opportunity to enhance my leadership skills. I’ve built skills that help me do a better job of both creating programs and measuring the impact of those programs. Three areas in particular were hugely beneficial: planning, finance, and storytelling." Read More.

21st Century Leaders
"A high point was the work we did on communications and storytelling. We are our own best advocates, and we need to develop our ability to communicate to others what we do and why it’s so important. Exercises in the “Telling your Story” class challenged us all to speak up and get more comfortable with telling our organizational stories and this training continued throughout the year. As a result, my story telling ability and comfort level have both improved." Read More.

"I am very privileged to have participated in this program as I was laying the groundwork to develop Grow Kids, Inc. Although I have served on non-profit boards, worked as a program coordinator, completed doctoral level administrative coursework, and evaluated programs, I have never worked as an Executive Director. The HPDL program helped me gain the skills to go beyond my current knowledge base and assess an organization from an executive level perspective." Read More.
