Executive Essentials
We understand that it can be lonely at the top…
…but it doesn’t have to be.
Executive Essentials is a two-day, in-person retreat designed specifically for Executive Directors and CEOs in their first three years of leadership.
This moment in your leadership matters, and you shouldn’t have to go it alone.
Hosted by Morten Group, LLC, this hands-on values-centered retreat will offer practical tools and peer connection with sessions on board development, fundraising, program evaluation, and much more.
Join us to learn from our expert facilitators and take time to look back at the work you’ve done and reflect on what’s ahead!
Be sure to join us for this brand new offering from Morten Group!
