About this event

Nonprofit Self-Compassion: The Practice of Renewal

As we begin 2019, having emerged from one of the most stressful times of the year for nonprofit leaders, we have the opportunity to step back and reflect on how we are managing our jobs and our lives, and how we can make adjustments that increase our quality of life as well as the impact we have on the world.  

In this first gathering of the Nonprofit Leadership Council in 2019, we will learn about the importance of investing in our own vitality, identify practices that can enrich our lives, and talk together about how we can enhance personal and workplace well-being. This session will be led by Ken Saxon, co-founder of Leading from Within, which provides leadership development programs for people committed to improving their community.

About the Council

A signature program of the Center for Nonprofit Leadership, the Ventura County Nonprofit Leadership Council (the Council) is a collective of social sector leaders who seek to advance philanthropy and strengthen nonprofit leadership in our region.

Each year, the Council offers a series of five topic-driven convenings that serve as a forum for both seasoned and emerging nonprofit leaders to network with colleagues and peers, deepen understanding of important sector issues and develop a shared voice to influence and advocate on behalf the sector.

Stewarded by a dedicated volunteer steering committee, the Council itself is a point of convergence for the sector and affords a unique opportunity for leaders across the county to gather, explore collaborative relationships, and build their own professional development networks.

Convenings are held every other month, September – May, with a focus on topics relevant to leaders in the field.  Each meeting is chaired by a local nonprofit leader with panel presentations and content experts facilitating meaningful dialogue, reflection and small group discussion.

Who Should Attend?

The intended audience of the Council’s programs is both emerging and established nonprofit and civic leaders, regardless of position, rank or title.  The programs are designed to attract & engage key sector leaders, influencers and decision makers who care deeply about improving the philanthropic sector serving our region.  Intended audiences may shift in light of the program’s focus topic, but all are welcome to attend – individual philanthropists, board members, staff and volunteers.

Individuals can participate in the Council and attend all five sessions by becoming a Center for Nonprofit Leadership member or by attending individual sessions for $35 each.
