Supervisors create an important foundation of trust, commitment, engagement, and productivity within their teams. Often an employee’s decision to stay or leave an organization is dependent on who they report to. When supervisors are not trained to manage, lead, and support the efforts of others it can seriously damage employee engagement. This session aims to support supervisors with key management skills needed for effective decision making, problem solving, and activating staff assets and talents.

This program is open to all nonprofits and the fee is $25.* Parking is free. *Scholarships are available for nonprofits who want to attend but need financial assistance.
