Hampton Roads Institute for Nonprofit Leadership
Nonprofits at the Crossroads
Nonprofit leaders face diverse challenges in pursuing the missions of their organizations and delivering meaningful results to the communities they serve. Often, leaders come to a crossroads in decision-making whether it is in regard to their board of directors, strategic planning, or the pursuit for funding. These vital decisions have an impact on the accountability of the organization. The Hampton Roads Institute for Nonprofit Leadership Conference delivers knowledge and tools to sharpen the leadership and management skills of nonprofit executives and board members. Through this conference, VOLUNTEER Hampton Roads is further able to achieve its mission of providing quality leadership development and professional training programs for nonprofit boards and staff.
