Thriving as a Newer Legal Aid Executive Director

in Challenging Times

An online training beginning November 6, 2020

 

 

This MIE Executive Director Training will help you thrive as a newer Legal Aid Executive Director. The multiple challenges of this moment – pandemic, racism and recession – require us to evaluate and change up the ways we advance our mission and develop new leadership approaches. At the same time, the ongoing demands of funding and running a complex program require skills and attention. In this training, you will engage with peers, hear from experienced leaders, and gain diverse perspectives from colleagues who also face these challenges. Given all the demands on your time right now, this training is a worthwhile investment, providing assistance with specific issues you will dealing with for the short term and relationship building with other newer executive directors who can form a support base for the long term.

New directors typically learn on-the-job and inherit organizations with established systems and cultures. This training stresses both 1) knowing what should be done to lead an effective program, and 2) actually implementing what needs to be done. Convening over three months, it will include five structured interactive discussion groups working on real life issues, and small-team case study collaborative work in between, in a confidential setting. All sessions will include discussions of board management.
