"Leadership Triangle’s Regional program not only deepened my commitment to our community, but gave me a holistic understanding of how the strengths and opportunities within this region intersect and feed each other. As a nonprofit leader and a dad who wants to see my daughters – the next generation of leaders and achievers! – invested in their community, there’s no other program that has better equipped, challenged, or inspired me."

REGIONAL
The Triangle grows by 70+ people every single day. It’s ever-changing, and we need community leaders who understand the Regional context today and are committed to shaping an equitable future tomorrow. Leadership Triangle’s Regional Program is designed with this goal in mind. Over the course of 3.5 months, this program develops leadership skills while connecting participants to other key leaders and issues that face the Region as a whole.
Participants meet bi-weekly in different locations across the Triangle. In past cohorts, one class involved a deep dive into the social, economic and environmental trends for the region as a whole. We experienced a full day onsite at Healing Transitions and an immersive tour of Extraordinary Ventures. In Pittsboro, we toured The Farm at Penny Lane and in Durham, President Buxton gave us a personal tour of Durham Tech.
TRANSFORMING TEAMS
Transforming Teams is an immersive, cohort-based experience designed for nonprofit teams seeking to build trust, strengthen connections, and enhance the effectiveness of their practices and procedures. Guided by expert leadership development facilitators, each team receives tailored support while also learning key principles of equitable and transformational organizational design. Transforming Teams helps busy nonprofit organizations break free from reactive problem-solving and enter a facilitated space to strategically work on their business.
Up to 5 members of your nonprofit can participate in the program. Additionally, Board members are welcome to drop in and participate in key sessions (Board Development, Fundraising) as is helpful and appropriate.
