I am happy to announce a new program that will soon be available to assist in advancing the cause of equity for our Black-led members. Leadership Council is joining with Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub to conduct “Advancing Black-Led Nonprofits.”
Who is Flywheel?
Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub - is a long-established leader focused on supporting nonprofits and social ventures to grow and prosper. Flywheel provides coaching, consulting, and educational services to address strategic and operational challenges. Flywheel’s all-volunteer coaches are experienced working as advocates and allies of diverse organizational leaders in Flywheel programs such as Elevate Equity.
What is this new service for Leadership Council’s Black-Led members?
Flywheel will provide pro bono advisory services utilizing their coaches who have decades of leadership experience in the nonprofit and for-profit worlds. These coaches will be made available to individual, Black-led organizations to address a particularly thorny operational challenge of your choice. The coaches will share strategies, skills, and connections to assist you in addressing your challenge and furthering your social mission.
Specifically, Flywheel will provide:
A 1-on-1 brainstorming workshop (1.5-hour duration) for each of the first six member organizations who request them.
Workshops will be made available through May 2022 and scheduled at the leader’s and Flywheel’s mutual convenience.
Organizations may have up to three C-level participants.
Flywheel will select relevant coaches to participate based on the challenge the organization wishes to address.
Following the workshop, Flywheel will provide a one-page summary of findings.
How can I get more information?
Register here for the introductory presentation on Wednesday, November 17, from 4:00p – 5:00p to learn about the program and how to request a workshop.
