What is 5 Good Ideas?

5 Good Ideas is a leadership development initiative to support the talented leaders in the nonprofit community throughout North Carolina. The nonprofit sector is a vital component in creating healthy communities and the management of nonprofit organizations requires passionate, talented and skilled leadership.

5 Good Ideas is offered at no cost to participants, and is an informal training session for nonprofit leaders, specifically designed to:

• Increase networking opportunities
• Enhance management and leadership skills
• Aid in the reduction of organizational turnover by increasing the effectiveness of, and resources available to, nonprofit leaders

How does it work?

We present five good ideas, and we ask you to make them great.

Twenty-five nonprofit leaders convene for a three-hour session (lunch is provided), during which industry or issue experts present five practical ideas and explore with attendees how they can utilize these ideas to further their organization’s mission. At the conclusion of the presentation, participants network in small groups to brainstorm how to specifically implement these ideas into their nonprofit.

When is the next session?

The next session is taking place Wednesday, September 12 in Chapel Hill.

The session is entitled How to Increase the Financial Stability of Your Nonprofit, and will be presented by Mike Crum of TMC Consulting, who has more than 12 years of professional fundraising experience with national, statewide and local nonprofit organizations.
