Executive Leadership Cohort 2024

Over thirty Executive Leaders across the YWCA Network have come together for a 5-month program designed to increase engagement among network administration and to enrich leadership retention.

The cohort primarily focuses on executive support from multiple angles including self-care and self-reflection while staying committed to the long-standing mission. It also incorporates understanding antiracist behavior while building/maintaining cohesion amidst a diverse/disparate team culture, and skill-building as effective allies.

Cohort members will understand their own and others’ values, beliefs, and styles of working while equipping them with skill sets and resources to interact and make decisions effectively. Members will also learn energy management practices that lead to sustained performance, balance, and an improved culture.
