CONNECTICUT COUNCIL FAMILY SERVICE AGENCIES (CCFSA)
Growing Future Leaders With Measurable Results
THE CHALLENGE
Aspiring executive level leadership
The Connecticut Council of Family Service Agencies, Inc. (CCFSA) is a statewide network of 15 independent, nonprofit, family service agencies that deliver services to over 180,000 families annually from more than 100 sites located throughout Connecticut. CCFSA values leadership development and wanted to help senior leaders in nonprofits to strengthen their management and leadership capabilities.
THE OUTCOME
Unique measurable program for professional growth and enhancement
The Strategy Group designed a 8-month leadership development program to help emerging leaders to strengthen knowledge of nonprofit management and leadership, to develop strong supervisory skills, to improve critical thinking, and planning skills and to learn how to respond to problems in complex and diverse environments. In addition to the full-day group trainings, each participant received executive coaching.
The full-day monthly sessions focused on:
– Leadership
– Planning
– Fundraising
– Team-building
– Change Management
– Finance and Budgeting
– Relationship Building
– Program Planning and Business Development
Based on pre- and post-tests as well as qualitative assessments, program participants strengthened their knowledge and skills. Participants enthusiastically spoke about their own professional growth and development.
“Thank you for the opportunity to develop and hone skills to become a more effective leader! The Strategy Group did a fantastic job with the program. They were well organized, enjoyable and informative. The topics were relevant and on point.”
