The first official gathering of the "ED Peer Group" will provide an update on the state of the nonprofit sector on both on the local and national level. Doug Sauer, CEO of the New York Council of Nonprofits and Board President of the National Council of Nonprofits will share his insight on the role of nonprofits in the revitalization of our communities, including the role the new administration will play in connecting to and working in collaboration with our organizations.

We all know that strong nonprofit leadership will be critical to our success in getting federal, state and local funding for our region, getting increased involvement by donors, volunteers and board members, and changing many of the public misconceptions regarding the nonprofit sector and the impact we have on our communities.

To begin building a strong, supportive and informed network of executives, the ED Peer Group Steering Committee will share feedback from recent county meetings and results of an online survey to determine what types of programming, resources and access to expertise you might need in your important job of leading a nonprofit organization during these challenging and changing times. The group will also be taking part in a skill assessment and begin discussions about a "mentoring" program pairing executive directors together for one-on-one peer support.
