Designed to build capacity for nonprofit managers serving Bloomingdale Township residents, the Nonprofit Leadership Advisory Forum cultivates a space for honest exchanges, allowing peers to find practical assistance through shared burdens and celebrated triumphs.
Our recent session was hosted by @NAMI DuPage on the DuPage County campus in Wheaton, IL. We learned about NAMI’s valuable work training Certified Recovery Support Specialists and their “living room” space, which serves a critical role in the community. Key takeaways from our discussions included:
- The critical importance of adaptability in navigating challenges, as seen in one partner’s rapid success in hiring and openness to new technology.
- The ongoing challenges and successes in advocating for mental health funding and intergovernmental cooperation.
- Valuable strategies for managing workload and prioritizing tasks, including time blocking, task batching, and the importance of rewarding oneself to avoid burnout.
This forum, in partnership with Good Works Results LLC, strengthens leaders with a powerful network and essential resources, elevating their professional journey and collaborative problem-solving.
