What if we invest in training our people and then they leave?
What if we don't invest in them and they stay!
Dear Friends,
It's easy to recognize the value of staff training and professional development when you're with an organization dedicated to leadership! I have a front row seat to witness transformational changes in people at all levels in business, non profit, higher education, and governmental organizations. I can't count the number of times someone has told me that Leadership Harrisburg Area changed their life. I can't keep track of the thanks and appreciation we receive from people who tell me that one LHA program or another increased their community awareness; challenged their perspectives; improved their leadership; led to a promotion at work; led to an important community service role; created a meaningful business connection for them; or even opened the door to new friendships.
So I ask, what are you waiting for?! If you haven't already participated in a LHA program, what's stopping you? You deserve to experience our programming for yourself! If you can't commit to our full 9-month Community Leadership Series, maybe our day-long Beyond Leadership training is for you. If you're at an executive level, the 2019 Executive Leadership Series class is forming now. Maybe scheduling The Color Code or a team building workshop for your group. Maybe you want to polish your board service skills and could partake in our free Board Strong video series. If you've participated in a LHA program, maybe you want to recommend Leadership Harrisburg Area to a friend or colleague.
Many people say they can't afford to invest in training for themselves or staff members. I respond by saying that you can't afford not to. As a very wise person once said to me "Una, how can you take Leadership Harrisburg Area to the next level if YOU aren't growing as a leader?" "Leadership Harrisburg Area," he said, "can only grow as much as you grow." I learned that investing in my professional development is an investment in the organization that I care so much about and I made a commitment to continued education in a variety of formats. You can too!
Consider this letter a personal invitation for YOU to join Leadership Harrisburg Area. Consider this the encouragement to invest in yourself so that you can develop leaders around you. Consider this a reminder that your level of success can't exceed your level of personal development. Central Pennsylvania needs you. Your organization needs you. Community organizations need you. Your team needs you to be the very best that you can be.

Minimize Conflict. Maximize Attendance!
You plan, you prepare, you promote your event...then you learn that another big fundraiser is being held during your event! Eventsavvy is a tool created for nonprofit and community based organizations to use to minimize conflicting events in order to increase attendance for all. Eventsavvy provides a centralized location for organizations in Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry Counties to post upcoming events, so that other groups have the information they need to avoid using the same date whenever possible. If you have an upcoming event that meets the submission criteria, you are invited to post the event. Visit
eventsavvy.org for more details and to post your group's events. All events submitted to The Community Caller will be transferred to eventsavvy.org on a monthly basis.
All eligible events posted in The Community Caller will be transferred to
eventsavvy.org
